Im REALLY sorry if I get this wrong I'm not that great at math and I like to try and help anyway. If I were to chose I would do 2 or 5. I hope I could at least narrow down the options, please dont hate me if Im wrong!
The sum of the 5 terms in the arithmetic series is 40.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; First we need to determine the three values between a1= -14 and a5=30. The difference between the first and fifth value = 30 - (-14) = 30 + 14 = 44.
Since there are 4 values after a1 we divide the difference by the number of terms, the difference between each term = 44 / 4 = 11. So the difference between each term is 11.
Step 2; To find out the terms we just add the difference to the previous number.
a1 = -14.
a2 = -14 + 11 = -3.
a3 = -3 + 11 = 8.
a4 = 8 + 11 = 19.
a5 = 19 + 11 = 30.
So a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5 = -14 -3 + 8 + 19 + 30 = 40.
Set each equation to get Y by its self
Then set the equations equal to each other and solve for X

Correct Question is: Find the illegal values of b in the fraction
(2b^2 + 3b - 10)/(b^2 - 2b - 8)illegal values are those which are not a part of Domain. In this case these will be such values which will make the denominator of the fraction zero.
So setting the denominator equal to zero, we can find these values.
Thus, b=-2 and b=4 are the illegal values for this expression
