Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the second term and subtract the first term

50 -54 = -4

We can check by taking the third term and subtracting the second term

46-50 = -4

The common difference is -4

If we will analyze, we will notice a standard:

From 54 to 50 we subtracted 4 --> (-4);
From 50 to 46 we subtracted 4 --> (-4);

This is repeated until last term of sequence.

Terefore, the correct alternative is letter d).

for p(x)= 192 + 21x^3 + 54x^2 - 3x^4 - 264x, use synthetic substitution to evaluate p(1), p(-2), and p(8)

RSB [31]

The value of p(1), p(-2), and p(8) is 0, 744 and 0 respectively

<h3>What is polynomial function?</h3>

Given the function $p(x)= 192 + 21x^3 + 54x^2 - 3x^4 - 264x$

We are to get the following parameters:

$p(1)= 192 + 21(1)^3 + 54(1)^2 - 3(1)^4 - 264(1)\\p(1)=192+21+54-3-264\\p(1)=0$

For p(-2)

$p(-2)= 192 + 21(-2)^3 + 54(-2)^2 - 3(-2)^4 - 264(-2)\\p(-2)=192-168+216-24+528\\p(-2)=744$

For p(8)

$p(8)=192 + 21(8)^3 + 54(8)^2 - 3(8)^4 - 264(8)\\p(8)=192+10,752+3,456-12,288-2,112\\p(-2)=0$

Hence the value of p(1), p(-2), and p(8) is 0, 744 and 0 respectively

❗️❗️Pleaseeee helpppp❗️❗️

Oma made a mistake in step B, because she should have divided both sides by b instead of just moving it to the other side. The real next step would look like:
(2A)/b=h

Find the value of the variable x (2x+12) and 8x-18

maxonik [38]

Answer: Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Just mutiply x on both sides which gives you 2x^2 + 12x then you mutiply 2x^2 then subtract that number on both sides and it gives you x = something then you distribute it on 8(something) - 18 you subtract
