Answer:
I wish I knew that answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
= 4 
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms , that is
r = - 20 ÷ 4 = 100 ÷ - 20 = - 5
This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term ( explicit formula )
= a₁ 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 4 and r = - 5 , then
= 4 
2x^2 + 4x + 1 = 0
2x^2 + 4x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1
2x^2 + 4x = -1
X(2x + 4) = -1
X = -1.
2x + 4 = -1
2x + 4 - 4 = -1 - 4
2x = -5
2x/2 = -5/2
X = -5/2.
I believe these are the solutions. If not you can use the quadratic formula to solve for the roots, solutions.
