Answer:

r = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Each entry is diminished by a factor of 1/2 times the previous entry.

so r = 1/2

The next number in the series is 1 and then the one after that is 1/2 and then 1/4 ...

Answer:

$1) \frac{1}{(x - 3)(x + 2)} + \frac{3}{(x + 2)(4 - x)} + \frac{2}{(x - 3)(x - 4)} \\ \\ = \frac{x - 4}{(x - 3)(x + 2)(x - 4)} - \frac{3(x - 3)}{(x - 4)(x + 2)(x - 3)} + \frac{2(x + 2)}{(x + 2)(x - 3)(x - 4)} \\ \\ = \frac{x - 4 - 3x + 9 + 2x + 4}{(x - 3)(x - 4)(x + 2)} \\ \\ = \frac{9}{(x + 2)(x - 3)(x - 4)}$

$2) \frac{2}{(x - 2)(x - 3)} + \frac{2}{(x - 1)(3 - x)} + \frac{1}{(1 - x)(2 - x)} \\ \\ = \frac{2(x - 1)}{(x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)} - \frac{2(x - 2)}{(x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)} + \frac{x - 3}{(x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)} \\ \\ = \frac{2x - 2 - 2x + 4 + x - 3}{(x - 1)(x -2)(x - 3)} \\ \\ = \frac{x - 1}{(x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{(x - 2)(x - 3)}$

What is the simplified form of 3 over 4x plus 3 + 21 over 8 x squared plus 26x plus 15

arsen [322]

This is the concept of algebra, we are required to add up the terms given above, here we shall have:
3/(4x)+21/(8x)+26x+15
when we sum up we get:
27/(8x)+26x+15
=(27+208x^2+120x)/(8x)
The simplified form of the summation of the terms is:
(27+208x^2+120x)/(8x)
