20 = 2 x 2 x 5
15 = 3 x 5
common divisor (CD) of 20 and 15 is 5 so n should be 5 and each group has 4 boys and 3 girls.
If there are more than one CD, then there are more than one answer.
If they ask for the largest number of groups, greatest common divisor (GCD) will be the answer.
Because the decimal is over 40 the answer is 15
1/2
When you put a square root into exponential form, the square root turns into an exponential fraction. Since the square root is 2, our fraction would be 1/2
If our root was a cube root, our exponent would be 1/3, etc.
This is a geometric sequence of the form:
a(n)=(x+3)(-2x)^(n-1) because each term is -2x times the previous term...so
a(8)=(x+3)(-128x^7)
a(8)=-128x^8-384x^7
