Answer:
Option A is correct not arithmetic
Explanation:
We have given terms these terms are not an arithmetic progression because
Arithmetic progression is the sequence of terms in which difference between successive and proceeding terms is same.
we can see the difference between and
is
Whereas, the difference between and
is

Answer:
x = √17 and x = -√17
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the equation:
To solve this we need to remove the denominators.
Then we can first multiply both sides by (x + 4) to get:
Now we can multiply both sides by (x + 3)
Now we can multiply both sides by (x^2 + 7*x + 12)
Now we need to solve this:
we will get
Then we get:
So now we only need to solve this.
We can see that the constant is 51.
Then one root will be a factor of 51.
The factors of -51 are:
-3 and -17
Let's try -3
p( -3) = (-3)^3 + 3*(-3)^2 + +17*(-3) + 51 = 0
Then x = -3 is one solution of the equation.
But if we look at the original equation, x = -3 will lead to a zero in one denominator, then this solution can be ignored.
This means that we can take a factor (x + 3) out, so we can rewrite our equation as:
The other two solutions are when the other term is equal to zero.
Then the other two solutions are given by:
x = ±√17
And neither of these have problems in the denominators, so we can conclude that the solutions are:
x = √17 and x = -√17
