Answer:

x=-4 x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 + 2x - 8

Set equal to zero

0 = x^2 + 2x - 8

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2

4 * -2 = -8

4+-2 = 2

0=(x+4) ( x-2)

Using the zero product property

x+4 =0 x-2 =0

x=-4 x=2

the 11th term in a geometric sequence is 48 and the common ratio is 4. the 12th term is 192 and the 10th term is what?

Soloha48 [4]

Given:

The 11th term in a geometric sequence is 48.

The 12th term in the sequence is 192.

The common ratio is 4.

We need to determine the 10th term of the sequence.

General term:

The general term of the geometric sequence is given by

$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$

where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The 11th term is given is

$a_{11}=a(4)^{11-1}$

$48=a(4)^{10}$ ------- (1)

The 12th term is given by

$192=a(4)^{11}$ ------- (2)

Value of a:

The value of a can be determined by solving any one of the two equations.

Hence, let us solve the equation (1) to determine the value of a.

Thus, we have;

$48=a(1048576)$

Dividing both sides by 1048576, we get;

$\frac{3}{65536}=a$

Thus, the value of a is $\frac{3}{65536}$

Value of the 10th term:

The 10th term of the sequence can be determined by substituting the values a and the common ratio r in the general term $a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$ , we get;

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(4)^{10-1}$

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(4)^{9}$

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(262144)$

$a_{10}=\frac{786432}{65536}$

$a_{10}=12$

Thus, the 10th term of the sequence is 12.

-2/3y-3/4=5 What is the answer i need to show my work please

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

y= -69/8 (negative 69 over 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to simplify both sides of the equation:

$-2/3y+ -3/4 =5$

Second, add 3/4 to both sides:

-2/3y +-3/4 + 3/4=5 +3/4

-2/3y= 23/4

Next, multiply both sides by 3/(-2) (3 over -2)

(3/-2)*(-2/3y)= (3/-2) * (23/4)

y= -69/8

The combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 m

rewona [7]

Answer:

Approximately 50 pounds less carbon (in CO₂) will be produced by the second auto on this trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 miles.

Let us find amount of fuel used by autos by dividing the total distance by their mileage.

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 20 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}$

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 20 miles}}\times \text{gallon}$

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=30 \text{ gallons}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 30 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 30 miles}}\times \text{gallon}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=20 \text{ gallons}$

Let us find the difference of fuel used by both autos.

$\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=30-20$

$\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=10$

Since one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon, so 10 gallons of fuel will produces $5\times 10=50$ pounds of carbon.

Since 2nd auto used 10 gallons less than 1st auto, therefore, 2nd auto will produce 50 pounds less carbon than 1st auto.
