So hmm the first term is -2
and if we divide one term by the term before it, we'd get the "common ratio" "r"
so hmm say -32/8 that gives us -4, so r = -4
thus
Answer:
<em>Thus, the dimensions of the desk in the drawing are 4 cm long and 2 cm wide.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Scaling</u>
The scale factor established to represent a desk 2 meters long and 1 meter wide is:
1 centimeter = 0.5 meter
We need to convert the real dimensions to the scaled dimensions. To complete the task, it's a good idea to multiply the real dimensions by the ratio:
to get the scaled dimensions.
The length of 2 meters is scaled to:
And the width of 1 meter is scaled to:
\displaystyle 1\ m\frac{1\ cm}{0.5\ m}=2 cm
Thus, the dimensions of the desk in the drawing are 4 cm long and 2 cm wide.
Okay, the image is a little tough to see, but I believe it looks something like this:
(5² -10 / 17 - 3 * 4) -1
The first step [remember PEMDAS] is parentheses
Next comes Exponents:
(25 - 10 / 17 - 3 * 4) -1
Then Multiplication:
(25 - 10 / 17 - 12) - 1
Then Division [which we can't do yet since it isn't fully simplified], so we skip to Addition... nothing again, then subtraction.
(15 / 5) - 1
Then we can divide:
(3) - 1
Then subtract!
2
The answer to your problem is 2.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
14, 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The prime factorization of 224 is 2⁵ × 7. To make it a perfect square, we need the bases to have an even exponent, therefore we divide it by 2 × 7 = 14 to get 16.
