Add 2p² to each side of the equation. Then you have
2p² + 16p + 24 = 0 .
Before you roll up your sleeves and start working on it, you can make it
even more convenient if you divide each side by 2 . Then you have:
p² + 8p + 12 = 0 .
Now you have a nice, comfortable, familiar-looking quadratic equation.
You can either factor the left side into (p + 6) (p + 2), or, if you can't find
the factors, you can apply the quadratic formula to it.
That's how to solve it, and find its two solutions.

Answer: the last one
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit formula for arithmetic sequence is:
an=a+(n-1)d
where:
a=first term
d=common difference
given:
a3=22
a(17)=-20
substituting this in our equation we get:
22=a+(3-1)d
22=a+2d
a=22-2d........i
also:
-20=a+(17-1)d
-20=a+16d.....ii
but substituting i in ii we get:
-20=22-2d+16d
-20-22=14d
-42=14d
d=-3
but:
a=22-2d
a=22-2(-3)
a=28
thus the formula will be:
an=28-3(n-1)
thus the first term will be 28
the 2nd term will be:
a2=28-3(2-1)
a2=25
the 3rd term will be:
a3=28-3(3-1)
a3=28-6
a3=22
a4=28-3(4-1)
a4=28-9
a4=15
a5=28-3(5-1)
a5=28-3(4)
a5=28-12
a5=15
Answer:
1. 20
2. 23
3. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:
f(x) = 2x
g(x) = x² + 1
f(g(x)) is the composite function of f and g. So
f(g(x)) = f(x²-1) = 2(x²+1) = 2x² + 2
1. f(g(3))
f(g(x)) = 2x² - 2 = 2(3)² + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20
2. f(3)+g(4)
f(3) = 2(3) = 6
g(4) = 4² + 1 = 17
f(3) + g(4) = 6 + 17 = 23
3. f(5) - 2g(1)
f(5) = 2(5) = 10
g(1) = (1)² + 1 = 2
f(5) - 2g(1) = 10 - 2*2 = 10 - 4 = 6
