Answer:

\fbox{\begin{minipage}{9em}x = -2 and x = -6\end{minipage}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x^{2} + 8x + 12 = 0

Solve for:

x

Solution:

Step 1: Select the formula to solve for x

There are some ways to solve quadratic equations.

One of the simple way (if possible) is performing the factorization.

Another way is using the quadratic formula.

Here, we are going to use factorization.

Step 2: Perform factorization

      x^{2} + 8x + 12 = 0

<=>x^{2}  +  2x + 6x  + 12 = 0

<=>(x^{2} + 2x) + (6x + 12) = 0

<=>x(x + 2) + 6(x + 2) = 0

<=>(x + 2)(x + 6) = 0

<=> x = -2 or x = -6

Hope this helps!

⎩ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎧ ​ b(1)=−2 b(n)=b(n−1)−7 ​ Find the 3 rd 3 rd 3, start superscript, start text, r, d, end text, end superscript ter
vitfil [10]

Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence:

b(n)=b(n−1)−7, where b(1)=−2

b(2)=b(2−1)−7

=b(1)−7

=-2-7

b(2)=-9

Therefore, the 3rd term of the sequence

b(3)=b(3−1)−7

=b(2)-7   (Recall b(2)=-9 from above)

=-9-7

b(3)=-16

The 3rd term of the sequence is -16.
