Answer:A
Step-by-step explanation:
X=2(y+1)^2-6
<h3>Given</h3>
A geometric sequence such that ...

<h3>Find</h3>

<h3>Solution</h3>
We can use the ratio of the given terms to find the common ratio of the sequence, then use that to find the desired term from one of the given terms. We don't actually need the common ratio (-2). All we need is its cube (-8).

Answer:
C is the closest.,
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming that the 2 trapezoids CBEF and EFDA are similar (they are similar if the 3 horizontal lines are parallel).
Corresponding sides are in the same ratio , so:
3.4 / EF = EF / 7.6
EF^2 = 3.4 * 7.6 = 25.84
EF = 5.08
Answer:
It took 1.2 hours to get to the store
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time taken to reach the store be t₁
Let the time taken to come back be t₂
Let the speed to and from store = s₁ and s₂ respectively
let the distance to the store = d
To the store:

Back from the store:

We are told that total time (t₁ + t₂) = 2 hours
t₁ + t₂ = eqn (1) + eqn (2)

∴ length of trip to the store = t₁
from eqn (1)

Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression:
<u>Option A</u>
⇒ (x - 4)(3x + 2)
⇒ (x × 3x) + (2 × x) + (-4 × 3x) + (-4 × 2)
⇒ (3x²) + (2x) + (-12x) + (-8)
⇒ 3x² + 2x - 12x - 8
⇒ 3x² - 10x - 8
3x² - 10x - 8 = 3x² - 10x - 8 (Yes!)
<u>Option B</u>
⇒ (3x - 4)(x - 2)
⇒ (3x × x) + (3x × -2) + (-4 × x) + (-4 × -2)
⇒ (3x²) + (-6x) + (-4x) + (8)
⇒ 3x² - 6x - 4x + (8)
⇒ 3x² - 10x + 8
3x² - 10x - 8 = 3x² - 10x + 8 (No!)
<u>Option C</u>
⇒ (3x - 4)(x + 2)
⇒ (3x × x) + (3x × 2) + (-4 × x) + (-4 × 2)
⇒ (3x²) + (6x) + (-4x) + (-8)
⇒ 3x² + 6x - 4x - 8
⇒ 3x² + 2x - 8
3x² - 10x - 8 = 3x² + 2x - 8 (No!)
<u>Option D</u>
⇒ (3x - 2)(x - 4)
⇒ (3x × x) + (3x × -4) + (-2 × x) + (-2 × -4)
⇒ (3x²) + (-12x) + (-2x) + (8)
⇒ 3x² - 12x - 2x + 8
⇒ 3x² - 14x + 8
3x² - 10x - 8 = 3x² - 14x + 8 (No!)
Since the expression of option A has the same value as the given expression, option A is correct.
