Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_1=S_1=3\cdot1^2+4\cdot1=3+4=7$

$a_1+a_2=S_2\\\\a_1+a_1+d=3\cdot2^2+4\cdot2\\\\7+7+d=3\cdot4+8\\\\14+d=12+8\\\\d=6\\\\\\a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=7+6(n-1)\\\\a_n=7+6n-6\\\\\underline{a_n=7n+1}$

$a_{20}=7\cdot20+1=141$

What multiplies to 16 and adds to negative 12

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm

we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$

0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16

x= $\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{12^{2}-4(1)(16) }}{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{144-64 }}{2}$
x= $\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{80}}{2}$
x= $\frac{-12+/- 4\sqrt{5}}{2}$
x= $\frac{-6+/- 2\sqrt{5}$
x= $\frac{-6+ 2\sqrt{5}$ or $\frac{-6- 2\sqrt{5}$

aprox
x=-1.52786 or -10.4721

those are the numbers

the numbes are -1.52786 or -10.4721
