Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since E is the midpoint, AE and EB are equal. We can write this as such,

4x+6=10x-12 if we solve from here we get 6x=18. Simplify to get x=3. sub in three for x in the AE equation, 4(3)+6 and solve. You'd get 18 as your answer. Double that to get the solution since AE= 1/2AB. 18*2= 36

AB=36

Find a formula for the general term an of the sequence, assuming that the pattern of the first few terms continues. (assume that

Lilit [14]

Your sequence
-8, 16/3, -32/9, 64/27
is a geometric sequence with first term -8 and common ratio
(16/3)/(-8) = (-32/9)/(16/3) = -2/3

The general term an of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and ratio r is given by
an = a1·r^(n-1)
For your sequence, this is
an = -8·(-2/3)^(n-1)

What are the factors of 3x²+7x-20?

Leya [2.2K]

$3x^2+7x-20=0\\\\a=3;\ b=7;\ c=-20\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\x_1=\frac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a};\ x_2=\frac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\Delta=7^2-4\cdot3\cdot(-20)=49+240=289;\ \sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{289}=17\\\\x_1=\frac{-7-17}{2\cdot3}=\frac{-24}{6}=-4;\ x_2=\frac{-7+17}{2\cdot3}=\frac{10}{6}=\frac{5}{3}\\\\\\3x^2+7x-20=3(x+4)(x-\frac{5}{3})\\\\\\3x^2+7x-20=0\iff x=-4\ \vee\ x=\frac{5}{3}$
