Answer:

a₁ = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AP, where:

  • 8a₈ = 12a₁₂
  • d = -2,
  • a₁ = ?

=============

<h3>Solution</h3>

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

  • a₈ = a₁ + 7d = a₁ + 7*(-2) = a₁ - 14
  • a₁₂ = a₁ + 11d = a₁ + 11*(-2) = a₁ - 22

8a₈ = 12a₁₂

  • 8(a₁ - 14) = 12(a₁ - 22)
  • 2(a₁ - 14) = 3(a₁ - 22)
  • 2a₁ - 28 = 3a₁ - 66
  • 3a₁ - 2a₁ = -28 + 66
  • a₁ = 38

Ms. wilson draws a model of the factorization of a polynomial with integer factors. her model is partially complete. a 2-column
lana [24]

The equation represented by Ms. Wilson's model is n² + 13n + 40 = (n + 8)(n + 5)

<h3>How to determine the equation of the model?</h3>

The partially completed model is given as:

    |  n

    |  n²

5   | 5n  |  40

By dividing the rows and columns, the complete model is:

    |  n    | 8

n   |  n²  |  8n

5   | 5n  |  40

Add the cells, and multiply the leading  row and columns

n² + 8n + 5n + 40 = (n + 8)(n + 5)

This gives

n² + 13n + 40 = (n + 8)(n + 5)

Hence, the equation represented by Ms. Wilson's model is n² + 13n + 40 = (n + 8)(n + 5)
