an = a1+ d(n-1)
a1 =14
an=206 when n=25
206 = 14 + d (25-1)
206 = 14 + d * 24
subtract 14 from each side
192 = 24d
divide by 24 on each side
d=8
The common difference is 8
Answer:
Larger number:
16
Smaller number
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Larger number: 16
Smaller number: 3
Explanation:
Suppose the larger number is
a
and the smaller number is
b
.
You solve the following system of equations:
a⋅b=48
a−13=b
Since b is a −13, you can plug that into a⋅b=48, so...a⋅(a−13)=48
a 2−13a=48
a2−13a−48=0
Factor the polynomial:
(a−16)(a+3)=0
a=16 or a=−3a is positive so a=16.
We can now solve for b by plugging in a, so...16−13=b3=b We have a=16 and b=3, meaning that the larger number is 16 and the smaller number is 3.
Okay so you do p(x) -q(x) and you get (x)^2-5x hope this helps. (Also hope that trigonometry I'm taking comes through lol)
