A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solving this problem is verifying if this sequence is an arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence.
This sequence is arithmetic if:
We have that:
This is not an arithmetic sequence.
This sequence is geometric if:
This is a geometric sequence, in which:
The first term is 40, so
The common ratio is , so .
We have that:
The 10th term is . So:
Simplifying by 4, we have:
Answer:
-36x^3 - 69x^2 - 34x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(4x + 5) (3x + 1) -3 (x + 1)
(4x + 5) (3x + 1) ( -3x - 1)
12x^2 + 4x + 15x +5
Combine like terms
12x^2 + 19x + 5 (-3x - 1)
-36x^3 -57x^2 - 15x^2 -5
Combine like terms
-36x^3 - 69x^2 - 34x - 5
