B. 12
Ex: 12 squared is 144
Answer:6018
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Sequence
It represent an A.P. with
first term 
common difference 
So sum of 51 term

The 6 people each got 
. To get this answer you need to divide the 
of the cake among 6 people.
Equation ⇒ x 
You get the answer by multiplying the bottom denominators.
Answer:
C 2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a parabolic function
Notice how we go negative and then positive
y = ax^2 +bx+c
Let x = 0
-5 = a(0) + b(0) +c
c = -5
y = ax^2 + bx -5
Let x = 3
4 = a(3)^2 +b(3) -5
Let x=-3
4 = a(3)^2 -b(3) -5
Add the two equations
4 = a(3)^2 +b(3) -5
4 = a(3)^2 -b(3) -5
----------------------------
8 = 2a (3)^2 - 10
18 = 2 a(9)
18 = 18a
a =1
Solving for b
4 = 1(3)^2 -b(3) -5
4 = 9 -3b -5
4 = 4 -3b
0 = -3b
0 =b
The equation is
y = (x)^2 -5
Letting y = -1
-1 =x^2 -5
Adding 5 to each side
4 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
±2 = x
x= ±2
Given the choices
