Answer:
im not sure of the answer but hopefully this will help
Step-by-step explanation:
basically the intervals in which its increasing and decreasing depend on the leading coefficient and the vertex
since this is opening up, the intervals will be
the function is increasing (x coord of vertex, infinity)
the function is decreasing (-infinity, x-coord of vertex)
Step-by-step explanation:
p = -1, -4
q = -2, 2
p-q = (-1, -4) -1(-2, 2)
= 1, -6
Answer:7 is an irrational number.
Step-by-step explanation: it can be expressed as the quotient of two integers: 7÷ 1.
Answer:
<em>x = 1 and -2</em>
<em>Sum of the first ten terms = 1,398,100</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the geometric progression 2x+2, 16, 64x...
Since they are in GP, their common ratio is expressed as;
16/2x+2 = 64x/16
16/2(x+1) = 4x
8/x+1 = 4x
Cross multiply
4x(x+1) = 8
4x²+4x = 8
4x²+4x - 8 = 0
divide through by 4
x²+x - 2 = 0
Factorize
x²+2x-x- 2 = 0
x(x+2)-1(x+2) = 0
(x-1)(x+2) = 0
x = 1 and -2
Hence the values of x are 1 and -2
Get the common ratio;
r = 16/2x+2
Since x = 1
r = 16/2(1)+2
r = 16/4
r = 4
Sum of the first n terms is expressed as;
Sn = a(rⁿ-1)/r-1
a = 2x+2
a = 2(1)+2
a = 4
Substitute;
S10 = 4(4^10 - 1)/4 - 1
S10 = 4(1,048,576-1)/3
S10 = 4,194,300/3
S10 = 1,398,100
Hence the sum of the first ten terms is 1,398,100
