5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I assume that you mean

$x^2-5x-36$

The product is -36.

$x_1 \text{ and } x_2 \text{ are the two roots, we can write}\\\\(x-x_1)(x-x_2)=x^2-(x_1+x_2)x+x_1\cdot x_2$

So in this example, it means that the sum is 5 and the product is -36.

Thank you

A geometric sequence has first term 1/9 and common ratio 3. Which is the first term of the sequence which exceeds 1000?

Svetach [21]

$a_{n}= \frac{1}{9} (3)^{n-1}$
(We know this from a=1/9 and r=3)
Simplifying this, we get:
$\frac{1}{9} (3)^{-1} (3)^n$

Since we're finding the first term that exceeds 1000, let's set it equal to 1000.

$\frac{1}{27}(3)^n=1000$
Multiplying both sides by 27
$3^n=27000$

$log_{3}27000=n$

n≈9.2

We have to round n up, since if n=9, the value would be <1000.
Therefore n=10. Substituting n=10,
$\frac{1}{27}3^{10}$
=2187

Therefore the first term that exceeds 1000 is 2187, and it is the 10th term

Which of the following is equal to the rational expression when x -2 or -1? x^2-4/(x+2)(x+1)

Orlov [11]

Answer:

(x+2)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming im interpreting this correctly, it should be (x+2)(x+1), since if you plug in -2 and -1, it will give you 0, which is the answer.
