I have the same question! have you figured it out ??
Answer:
The rule of the arithmetic sequence is 13 - 2n
The 30th term is -47
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ f(n) = 11 and g(n) = -2(n - 1) = -2n + 2
∴ f(n) + g(n) = 11 + -2n + 2 = 13 - 2n
Use n = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 to check the type of the sequence
∵ n = 1 ⇒ 13 - 2(1) = 11
∵ n = 2 ⇒ 13 - 2(2) = 13 - 4 = 9
∵ n = 3 ⇒ 13 - 2(3) = 13 - 6 = 7
∵ n = 4 ⇒ 13 - 2(4) = 13 - 8 = 5
∵ 11 , 9 , 7 , 5 is an arithmetic sequence with difference -2
∴ The rule of the arithmetic sequence is 13 - 2n
∴ The 30th term = 13 - 2(30) = -47
Solve for x. Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, multiply 3 to both sides
6(3) = ((x + 2)/3)(3)
18 = x + 2
Finally, isolate the x. Subtract 2 from both sides
18 (-2) = x + 2 (-2)
x = 18 - 2
x = 16
16 is your answer for x
hope this helps
<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)

The first term is, <span> <span>x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -9x </span> its coefficient is <span> -9 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> -36 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 1</span> • -36 = -36</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of -36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -9 </span>.
<span><span> -36 + 1 = -35</span><span> -18 + 2 = -16</span><span> -12 + 3 = -9 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -12 and 3
<span>x2 - 12x</span> + 3x - 36
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-12)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (x-12)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+3) • (x-12)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)</span>
