Answer:

The quotient is x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's simplify and find out the quotient of the following division:

(x^3+3x^2-4x-12) / (x^2+5x+6)

(x³ + 3x² - 4x - 12)/ (x² + 5x + 6)

(x + 2) (x² + x - 6) / (x + 2) (x + 3) ⇒ Factorizing on the numerator and the denominator

(x² + x - 6) / (x + 3) ⇒ Eliminating (x + 2) on the numerator and the denominator

(x + 3) (x - 2) / (x + 3) ⇒ Factorizing on the numerator

x - 2 ⇒ Eliminating (x + 3) on the numerator and the denominator

The quotient is x -2

Find an equation for the nth term of a geometric sequence where the second and fifth terms are -2 and 16, respectively.

Tju [1.3M]

Hello :
the nth term of a geometric sequence is :
Un = Up ×r^(n-p) . r is the common ratio
for : p=5 and n= 2
U5 = U2 ×r^3
16 = -2 r^3
r^3 = -8
but : -8 = (-2)^3
so : r = -2
Un = U2 × r^(n-2)
Un = -2 ×(-2)^(n-2)= (-2)^(n-2+1)

the nth term of a geometric sequenceis : Un = (-2)^(n-1)
