A given term in a PG =a₁rⁿ⁻¹
Let' calculate the 1st term a₁, knowing a term & the common factor/ratio
a₄ = 1/2 so 1/2 = a₁(1/2)³
1/2 = a₁/8 and a₁ = 4
Now calculate a₉ =a₁.r⁸
a₉ = 4.(1/2)⁸ and a₉ = 1/64
I do not see an illustration.
It is a trinomial because it has three terms and it is not a perfect square nor a difference of squares.
The correct answer is y = 3x + 2y.
Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = -10 or y = -10 - x
substitute this into the second equation
x - y = 2
x - (-10-x) = 2
2x + 10 = 2
2x = -8
x = - 4
