Ooh, fun
geometric sequences can be represented as

so the first 3 terms are



the sum is -7/10

and their product is -1/125

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get

note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as

subsituting -1/5 for ar

which simplifies to

multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for


so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2




so

or

use them to solve for the value of a


try for r=2 and 1/2

or

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²=

it works
for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²=

it works
both have the same terms but one is simplified
the 3 numbers are

,

, and
The answer is -5
Explanation: Divide 2 to get rid of the top number. It looks like this
-10. 2y
___. ___
2. 2
What this does is remove the two from the Y and sets it by itself. Then you divide the -10, and the answer is -5
Answer:
21 h^10
Step-by-step explanation:
(7h^3)(3h^7)
Lets multiply
7*3 h^3 h^7
When the bases are the same , we add the exponents (x^a * x^b) = x ^ (a+b)
21 h^(3+7)
21 h^10
Answer:
i dont what it could be but my uncle said it was 32 but i dont know if its correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The question is open ended as i suppose since there are infinitely many possibilities. one possible form of the solution can be 
Step-by-step explanation:
The base in this case is 5 while the exponent is simply the power to which the base is raised in which case it would be 2. Both values are positive and the exponent is less than the base.
