Answer:
x = -3 and x = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the solutions to
2x² + 5x - 3 = 0
we can use the quadratic formula, as follows:
![x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2- 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-b%20%5Cpm%20%5Csqrt%7Bb%5E2-%204%28a%29%28c%29%7D%7D%7B2%28a%29%7D%20)
![x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2- 4(2)(-3)}}{2(2)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-5%20%5Cpm%20%5Csqrt%7B5%5E2-%204%282%29%28-3%29%7D%7D%7B2%282%29%7D%20)
![x = \frac{-5 \pm 7}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-5%20%5Cpm%207%7D%7B4%7D%20)
![x_1 = \frac{-5 + 7}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x_1%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-5%20%2B%207%7D%7B4%7D%20)
![x_1 = 0.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x_1%20%3D%200.5%20)
![x_2 = \frac{-5 - 7}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x_2%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-5%20-%207%7D%7B4%7D%20)
![x_2 = -3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x_2%20%3D%20-3%20)
So basically an arithmetic sequence has a common difference, a number which is either added or subtracted at a constant rate (only that number). A geometric sequence is the ratio between two numbers, meaning they are either multiplied or divided by the same number. The sequence would be neither if it follows none of these patterns. So by this logic:
14. Arithmetic, 15. Geometric, 16. Neither, 17. Geometric
