Given series is 2.4,-4.8,9.6,-19.2
To find whether it has common difference or common ratio let us find few differences and few ratios of consecutive terms.
Common difference of first 2 terms = 2nd term - first term = -4.8-2.4 = -7.2
Common difference of 2nd and 3rd terms = 3rd term - 2nd term = 9.6-(-4.8) = 14.4
Since those common differences are not equal the given series does not have common difference at all.
To check if it has common ratio or not let us find few ratios of consecutive terms.
Common ratio of first 2 terms = 
= 
Common ratio of 2nd and 3rd terms = 
So, the given series has common ratio as -2.0
Let x be the mass of the paperbacks and y be the mass of the textbook.
20x + 9y = 44.4 ----------- (1)
25x + 10y = 51 -------------(2)
(1) x 10:
200x + 90y = 444 --------(1a)
(2) x 9:
225x + 90y = 459 --------(2a)
(2a) - (1a):
25x = 15
x = 0.6 -------- sub into (1)
20 (0.6) + 9y = 44.4
12 + 9y = 44.4
9y = 44.4 - 12
9y = 32.4
y = 3.6
So the paperback's mass is 0.6 pounds and textbook is 3.6 pounds

Rational Root Theorem-
All the potential rational roots are,
The given polynomial is,
Here,
The potential rational roots are,
From, the given options only 
satisfies.
The answer is B because it is at -4 then increases 4 so now it is 0 degrees .
Answer:
ab² - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question an expression
(ab + 3)(ab - 3)
To product mentally we will use polynomial identity called
Difference of squares
<h3>a² - b² = (a+b)(a-b) </h3>
here a = ab
b = 3
(ab + 3)(ab - 3) = ab² - 3² = ab² - 9
