Answer:

first term (a)= 2

second term (b) = -8

common ratio (r) = -8/2 = -4

15th term = ar^ (n-1)

= 2* (-4)^ 14 =536870912

Answer:

$\textbf{A. }x=\dfrac{-4\pm2\sqrt{13}}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation to put it into standard form:

3x² +8x -12 = 0

Then identify the a, b, c of this form:

ax² +bx +c = 0

You see that a=3, b=8, c=-12.

Now use those values in the quadratic formula for the solutions:

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x=\dfrac{-8\pm\sqrt{8^2-4(3)(-12)}}{2(3)}\\\\x=\dfrac{-8\pm\sqrt{208}}{6}=\dfrac{-8\pm4\sqrt{13}}{6}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{-4\pm2\sqrt{13}}{3}}\qquad\text{factor 2 from numerator and denominator}$

I need to find the slope and b <br> Y=mx+b <br> HELP ME

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{4}{3}x+20$

Step-by-step explanation:

stupid enough

y=mx+b

$\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}$

slope = 16-12/3-6

-4/3

$y=-\frac{4}{3}x+b$

plug in x and y

16=-4/3(3)+b

b=20
