Arithmetic sequence: must have a constant common difference.
3/20-1/10=(3-2)/20=1/20
5/30-3/20=(10-9)/60=1/60
Difference is not constant, so no.
Geometric sequence: must have a common ratio
30/20 / (1/10) = 15
5/30 / (3/20) = 100/90 = 10/9
ratio is not constant, so no.
The answer is (c) neither geometric nor arithmetic
Answer:
x^2 -12x+36
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 – 12x
Take the coefficient of x
-12
Divide by 2
-12/2 = 6
Square it
6^2 = 36
We need to add 36 to make x^2 -12x a perfect square trinomial
x^2 -12x+36
(-12 - 2i) + (2 + 2i)
= -12 - 2i + 2 + 2i
= -12 + 2 - 2i + 2i
= -10
Answer: -10
Answer:The second choice is the correct one
Explanation:(2x+3)^2 + 8(2x+3) + 11 = 0
To use the u substitution, we will assume that:
2x + 3 = u
Substitute with this in the given expression, we will get:
u^2 + 8u + 11 = 0
The general form of the second degree equation is:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
Comparing the expression we reached with the general one, we will find that:
a = 1
b = 8
c = 11
The roots can be found using the rule found in the attached picture.
This means that, for the given expression:
u = -4 ± √5
Now, we have:
u = 2x+3
This means that:
at u = -4 + √5
2x + 3 = -4 + √5
2x = -7 + √5
x = (-7 + √5) / 2
at u = -4 - √5
2x + 3 = -4 - √5
2x = -7 - √5
x = (-7 - √5) / 2
This means that, for the given expression:
x = (-7 ± √5 ) / 2
Hope this helps :)
