Let the five terms be: a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, then
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d + a + 4d = 5a + 15d = 40
i.e. a + 3d = 8
Also, (a + 2d)(a + 3d)(a + 4d) = 224
(a + 3d - d)(a + 3d)(a + 3d + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8)(8 + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8 + d) = 224/8 = 28
64 - d^2 = 28
d^2 = 64 - 28 = 36
d = sqrt(36) = 6
But a + 3d = 8
a + 3(6) = 8
a = 8 - 18 = -10
Therefore, the term of the sequence is: -10, -10 + 6, -10 + 2(6), -10 + 3(6), -10 + 4(6)
= -10, -4, -10 + 12, -10 + 18, -10 + 24
= -10, -4, 2, 8, 14
Answer:
C. -3/4, -2/3, 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Just from observation, you can tell the 1/5 will be the greatest because all the other fractions are negative. Then, I converted them to decimal form to make it easier.
-2/3 = -0.6666666 (the 6 goes on forever)
-3/4 = -0.75
1/5= 0.20
Then, you put them in order.
-3/4 would be the least .
Followed by, -2/3
Finally, 1/5
20 seconds
i feel like that is right
Answer: Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
x= -7, -9
