Answer:
a(n) = 12 * (13)^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
First step is to determine what's the scale/multiplication factor between each term:
156 / 12 = 13
2028 / 156 = 13
So, since we got 13 between 1st, 2nd and 3rd term, we can be confident it's the right multiplication factor.
an would be the first term (12) multiplied by a factor of 13. So,
If we try for n > 1, we have
a(2) = 12 * (13)^(2-1) = 12 * 13 = 156
a(3) = 12 * (13)^(3-1) = 12 * 13² = 12 * 169 = 2028
It matches!

To reduce the radical, you have to factorize 108.
108 is a multiple of 3, so to factorize it, you can divide it by 3
You can rewrite the square root as:
The square root of 36 is equal to 6 so you can write the expression as:

Answer:
49
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the variable values in place of the corresponding variables, and do the arithmetic.
x² +3(x +y) =
5² +3(5 +3) = 25 +3(8) = 25 +24 = 49
