Answer:
<em>4x^3(x^2 - 5)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
First, try to factor a common factor.
GCF of 4 and -20 is 4.
GCF of x^5 and x^3 is x^3.
Factor out 4x^3.
4x^5 - 20x^3 =
= 4x^3(x^2 - 5)
Answer:
-3x+16
Step-by-step explanation:
Attached the solution with work shown.
a.
In order to find the common ratio, we just need to divide a term by the term that comes before it.
So using the terms 20 and -5, we have:

b.
The recursive rule can be found with the formula:

Where an is the nth term and q is the ratio. So we have:

c.
The explicit rule can be written as:

Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term and q is the ratio. So:
Answer:
82.35%
Step-by-step explanation:
60 divided by 340=0.17647058823
Multiply that by 100 and you get 17.647058823
Next, round and you get 17.65
100-17.65=82.35
