The maximum number of packs Jess can buy is 3 packs.
-4 is also a geometric mean
if we consider a(first element in series)=1 and r(common ratio)=-4 then the series would be
1,-4,16,-64,256,…..,a(-4)^(n-1 )
where n is nth term
from this -4 would be the geometric mean if we consider -4 as common ratio .
If we consider 4 as common ratio then geometric mean should be 4
so you should mention whether common ratio >0 or not (r>0 or not) .
[without ‘r’ value you can’t solve the question but in general most of the teachers will consider r>0.]
So, -4 won’t be geometric mean of 1 & 16

Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, you want the ratio of the weights:
(dino weight)/(car weight) = (2.8×10^5)/(4×10^3)
= (2.8/4)×10^(5-3) = 0.7×10^2 = 0.7×100
= 70
The heaviest dinosaur weighed about 70 times the weight of an average car.

Your calculator can do arithmetic in scientific notation. So can any spreadsheet.
The applicable rule of exponents is ...
(10^a)/(10^b) = 10^(a-b)
Add the following polynomials:
All polynomials are already ordered according to their degree (exponent), and therefore you can just add straight down in columns.
For x3: 2 + 1 - 3 = 0
For x2: -4 + 6 + 2 = 4
For x: 6 - 8 -4 = -6
Constants: -3 + 12 - 7 = 2
The answer is:
4x^2 - 6x + 2
