Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there's no one one number you can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next number, this is not arithmetic. It must be geometric. We need then to find the common ratio. Let's start with the first 2 numbers, find a ratio, and then use it to test for accuracy.
10x = 15 and
x = 
If this is in fact a geometric sequence witha common ratio of 3/2, we should be able to multiply 15 by 3/2 to get to the next number in the sequence. Let's try it out:
Good. So the common ratio is 3/2. The formula for an explicit geometric formula is
where a1 is the first number in the sequence and r is the common ratio. Filling in:
Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
27. -(a-3)
28. (b-1)(b+3)
29. (c+4)(c+5)
30. d(d+5)
31. -(3/4)(2e-5)
Sorry - I don't have time to enter the details. Look for areas where the expressions can be factored in a manner that forms as many equivalent expressions in both the numerator and denominator.
For example: In problem 30:
(5d-20)/(d^2+d-20) * [??]/20d = 1/4
Factor:
<u>(5(d-4))</u> <u>d(d+5)</u> = 1/4
(d-4)(d+5<u>)</u> 20d
The (d-4), d+5, and d terms cancel, leaving
5/20 = 1/4
Answer:x=5/3−y/3
Step-by-step explanation:
X^2-4x=0
Let x=0
0^2=4(0)=0
0=0 [checks out]
and
x^2-4x=0
(4)^2-4(4)x=0
16-16=0
0=0 [also checks out]
