Answer:

x = -2 or x = -6 or x = sqrt(5) or x = -sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^4 + 8 x^3 + 7 x^2 - 40 x - 60 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:

(x + 2) (x + 6) (x^2 - 5) = 0

Split into three equations:

x + 2 = 0 or x + 6 = 0 or x^2 - 5 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = -2 or x + 6 = 0 or x^2 - 5 = 0

Subtract 6 from both sides:

x = -2 or x = -6 or x^2 - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

x = -2 or x = -6 or x^2 = 5

Take the square root of both sides:

Answer: x = -2 or x = -6 or x = sqrt(5) or x = -sqrt(5)

Find the 6th term of a geometric sequence with t1=5 and r = -1/2
Hoochie [10]
In this item, we are to calculated for the 6th term of the geometric sequence given the initial value and the common ratio. This can be calculated through the equation,
   
                 An = (A₀)(r)ⁿ ⁻ ¹ 
where An is the nth term, A₀ is the first term (in this item is referred to as t₀), r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms. 

Substitute the known values to the equation,

                   An = (5)(-1/2)⁶ ⁻ ¹
                   An = -5/32

Hence, the answer to this item is the third choice, -5/32.
