Answer:

<em>-3/2 and 1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the  arithmetic sequence  (y+2) (y+3) and (2y²+1), the common difference is gotten by taking the difference in their terms. For example if we have 3 terms T1, T2, T3... the common difference d = T2-T1 = T3-T2

From the  sequence given;

T1 = y+2, T2 = y+3 and T3 = 2y²+1

d = y+3-(y+2) = 2y²+1- (y+3)

open the parenthesis

y+3-y-2 = 2y²+1- y-3

1 = 2y²+1- y-3

1 = 2y²- y-2

2y²- y-2-1 = 0

2y²- y-3 =0

Factorize the resulting expression

2y²- y-3 =0

2y²- 2y+3y-3 =0

2y(y-1)+3(y-1) = 0

(2y+3)(y-1) = 0

2y+3 = 0 and y-1 = 0

2y = -3 and y =1

y = -3/2 and 1

<em>Hence the possible values of y are -3/2 and 1</em>

Can somebody help me find the surface area of this
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

G. 7600 cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Deconstruct the shape

2 rectangles with dimension of 50 cm x 20 cm

2 rectangles with dimension of 40 cm x 20 cm

2 rectangles with dimension of 40 cm x 50 cm

Step 2: Find surface area of the shapes

2(50 x 20) = 2000 cm^{2}

2(40 x 20) = 1600 cm^{2}

2(40 x 50) = 4000 cm^{2}

Step 3: Add the surface areas together

2000 + 1600 + 4000 = 7600 cm^{2}

Therefore the surface area is 7600 cm^{2} and the answer is G.

7,16,8,27,9 what number continues this pattern
Aloiza [94]
The sequence seems to be that you add 1 and then multiply by 2, and then add 1 and multiply by 3, so I would assume you do 9 + 1 = 10, and then multiply by 4 to get 40 as your next number. I hope this helps!
