From the explanation below,
a= -10 and b= -4
<h3>
Answer: Choice C) 2 - 6 + 18 - 54 + ...</h3>
Explanation:
The three dots or ellipses indicate the pattern goes on forever to infinity. So the answer is between choices A and C based on this alone. Choice A is a sequence while choice C is a series. A sequence is simply a list of values often in some kind of mathematical pattern. A series is where you add values from a sequence together. This distinction rules out choice A and makes choice C the answer.
Note: choice C is a geometric series with first term 2 and common ratio -3. The infinite series diverges because r = -3 is outside the range -1 < r < 1.
Hello,
x^3+7x^2+10x-6=x^3+3x^2+4x^2+12x-2x-6
=x²(x+3)+4x(x+3)-2(x+3)
=(x+3)(x²+4x-2)
=(x+3)(x+2-√7)(x+2+√7)
zeroes={-3,-2+√7,-2-√7}
