I am pretty sure the answer is 13
Answer:
-55
Step-by-step explanation:
2nd term=> -1 + -2 × (2 - 1)
3rd term=> -1 + -2 × (3 - 1)
:
28th term=> -1 + -2 × (28 - 1)
=> -1 - 54 = -55
Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor both expressions
x² - x - 6
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 1)
The factors are - 3 and + 2 , since
- 3 × 2 = - 6 and - 3 + 2 = - 1 , thus
x² - x - 6 = (x - 3)(x + 2)
-----------------------------------
x² + 3x - 18
consider factors of constant term (- 18) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 3)
The factors are + 6 and - 3 , since
6 × - 3 = - 18 and 6 - 3 = + 3 , thus
x² + 3x - 18 = (x + 6)(x - 3)
Both expressions have a common factor of (x - 3)
Compare with (x - a ), then a = 3
.................................
2x - 1 + 3x = 0
2x + 3x - 1 = 0
(2 + 3)x - 1 = 0
5x - 1 = 0
