$x^2+8x=-1\\
x^2+8x+16-16=-1\\
(x+4)^2=15\\
x+4=\sqrt{15} \vee x+4=-\sqrt{15}\\
x=-4+\sqrt{15} \vee x=-4-\sqrt{15}$

Position to term rule of 2, 6, 10, 14, 18<br><br> multiply by _____ and subtract by _____

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

2, 6, 10, 14, 18

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference and is defined as

$\:a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d$

compute the differences of all the adjacent terms

$6-2=4,\:\quad \:10-6=4,\:\quad \:14-10=4,\:\quad \:18-14=4$

The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same.

Thus,

$d=4$

and

$a_1=2$

Therefore, the nth term is computed by:

$a_n=4\left(n-1\right)+2$

$a_n=4n-2$

Thus, position to term rule of 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 multiply by __4___ and subtract by __2__.

If y varies inversely as x and y = 27 when x = 12 , find x when y = - 9 .

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

x = - 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 27 when x = 12, then

k = yx = 27 × 12 = 324, thus

y = $\frac{324}{x}$ ← is the equation of variation

When y = - 9, then

- 9 = $\frac{324}{x}$ ( multiply both sides by x )

- 9x = 324 ( divide both sides by - 9 )

x = - 36
