Answer is:
a) 32
b) 59
Both are arithmetic sequences
Answer:
The standard form is: 
The function is of the 3rd degree.
The leading coefficient is 8.
The constant term is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Placing in standard form:
To place in standard form, we solve the operations. So




Degree:
The degree is given by the highest power of x, which, in this exercise, is 3.
Leading coefficient:
The leading coefficient is the term that multiplies the highest power of x. In this exercise, the higher power of x is
, which is multiplied by 8. So the leading coefficient is 8.
Constant term:
The constant term is the one which does not multiply a power of x. So in this exercise, it is -3.
Answer:
7 (6 as exponent)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the repeated product of a number to be expressed in exponential terms, we take the number as the base and the number of times it is multiplied as the exponent or power.
As such, given 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x7 x 7
the base is 7 and since the number of 7s being multiplied is 6, the result is
7 exponent 6 which may be written as 7^6
Collect like terms then simplify
9x-3x=-36
6x=-36
x= -6
