Answer:
2a(b^3 - 7b + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming that 2a2b3 is 2a2b^2. If not, this answer isn't correct.
Look at the whole numbers. Is there a number that divides into them evenly? Yes, 2, so you pull 2 from the problem and divide each number by 2. Do the same for each variable.
2a2b3 - 14ab + 16a
2(ab^3 - 7ab +8a)
2a(b^3 - 7b + 8)
Answer:
<u>Part 1</u>
<u>Sideways or "horizontal" parabola</u> with a horizontal axis of symmetry.
<u>Part 2</u>
The vertex is the turning point: (-3, 1)
<u>Part 3</u>
Vertex form of a horizontal parabola:
where:
- (h, k) is the vertex
- a is some constant
If a > 0 the parabola opens to the right.
If a < 0 the parabola opens to the left.
Point on the curve: (-1, 2)
Substituting the vertex and the found point into the formula and solving for a:



<u>Part 4</u>
Equation for the given parabola in vertex form:

Equation in standard form:

Answer:
1 f(n) = 3(5)^x-1
2 f(n) = 40(3/2)^x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The first number in the sequence, times the (multiplicative factor)^ x-1 is the rule for geometric sequences.
The volume of the given trapezoidal prism is 312 cubic units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To find the volume of a trapezoidal prism, we multiply the area of the trapezoidal surface with the height of the prism.
The area of a trapezoidal surface, 
a and b are the lengths of the upper and lower bases and h is the height of the trapezoid.
For the given trapezoid, a is 5 units long and b is 8 units long while height, h is 4 units.
The area of the trapezoidal surface, 
So the area of the trapezoidal surface is 26 square units.
Step 2:
To determine the volume of the prism, we multiply the area of the trapezoidal surface with the height of the prism.
The area is 26 square units and the height of the prism is 12 units.
The volume of the prism, 
The volume of the given trapezoidal prism is 312 cubic units.
If s=2, then t= 2(2)-3 = 1
T=2(4)-3= 5
T=2(6)-3= 9
T=2(8)-3=13
