Answer:
-84
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the nth term of a geometric progression is
Un = ar^n- 1
The sum of the first six terms of a geometric series (U6) = 21/16
Common ratio = -1/2 ,
a = First term ??
21/16 = a × (-1/2 )^6- 1
21/16 = a ×(-2^-1)^5
21/16 = a × -2^-6
Cross Multiply
16 × a × -2^-6 = 21
a = 21/16 × -2^-6
a = 21/16 ×- 1/2⁶
a = 21/16 × -1/64
a = 21 ÷(-1/4)
a = 21 × -4
a = -84
The first term = 84
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference quotient in general looks like
Sometimes the symbol "delta x" 
is used instead of h.
For the exponential function, the difference quotient is
You dont there is no way to. You just say 70x114=7980
Answer:
x = - 8, x = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 12x + 32 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 8)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
