The numerators = 3n ( where n = sequence number of the term
The denominators = n + 3
Answer is 3n / (n + 3)
X² + 4x = 96
Subtract 96 from both sides to get the equation equal to zero:
x² + 4x - 96 = 0
We can solve for x either by factoring or by using the Quadratic Formula. Let's attempt to factor first. To factor, find two numbers whose sum is 4 and whose product is -96. Since 96 is negative, the pair will be one positive and one negative (a positive times a negative is always negative). Let's start listing addends of 4 and calculating their product.
12 + (-8) = 4; 12 × (-8) = -96
The pair is 12 and -8. The factored polynomial is (x + 12)(x - 8). To find x, find the zeros.
x + 12 = 0
x = -12
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
Answer:
x = -12 and x = 8
I am getting 7 as the value of b. I do not believe 4 is a correct answer!
Here's why:
General equation of a circle in the xy plane

with
being the x,y coordinates of the center.
The center point can be determined from the two endpoints of the diameter because the line segment is horizontal, so we just find the center of the x coordinates of the two points:

and the radius r = diameter/2 = 8-(-2)/2 = 5
so we have

Given a point on the circle (0,b) with b>0:

Given:
The inequality is:

To find:
The x-values that are the solutions to the given inequality.
Solution:
We have,

It means all the real numbers greater than 111 are the solutions to the given inequality.
, so 97 is not a solution.
, so 101 is not a solution.
, so 119 is a solution.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Its 8 because your not adding your subtracting.
