Answer: The answer is 5. The denominator.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4x^2 + 21x - 18
Step-by-step explanation:
(9x^2+24x-8)-(5x^2+3x+10)
9x^2+24x-8-5x^2-3x-10
9x^2 - 5x^2 = 4x^2
24x - 3x = 21x
-8 - 10 = -18
Answer: 4x^2 + 21x - 18
Answer:
We are effectively looking for a and b such that 5, a, b, 135 is a geometric sequence.
This sequence has common ratio <span><span>3<span>√<span>1355</span></span></span>=3</span>, hence <span>a=15</span> and <span>b=45</span>
Explanation:
In a geometric sequence, each intermediate term is the geometric mean of the term before it and the term after it.
So we want to find a and b such that 5, a, b, 135 is a geometric sequence.
If the common ratio is r then:
<span><span>a=5r</span><span>b=ar=5<span>r2</span></span><span>135=br=5<span>r3</span></span></span>
Hence <span><span>r3</span>=<span>1355</span>=27</span>, so <span>r=<span>3<span>√27</span></span>=3</span>
Then <span>a=5r=15</span> and <span>b=ar=15⋅3=45</span>
The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.
For Example, In 8² , the 2 is the number of times 8 has to be multiplied. In this case It has to multiplied by itself 2 times, 8x8 = 64 so 8² = 64.
Another example is 9³ since the number above is 3 we have to multiply 9 three times, 9x9x9 = 729 which means 9³ = 729.
Hope this helps
