First term (a) = -15
common difference(d)= -9-(-15)
= -9+15=6
So,
12th term(a12)= a +(n-1)d
= -15+(12-1)×6
= -15 + 11×6
= -15+66
= 51
Answer:
x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^3 - 12x
=3x(x^2 - 4)
= 3x(x + 2)(x - 2)
so (x+2), (x - 2) and 3x are the factors of 3x^3 - 12x
answer:
x + 2
Answer:
The graph in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
This is the equation of the line
To graph a line we need two points
<em>Find the intercepts</em>
1) The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
For x=0
The y-intercept is the point (0,3)
2) The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero
For y=0
The x-intercept is the point (-1.5,0)
To draw the graph of the line plot the intercepts and join the points
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
In order to reduce ANY fraction to lowest terms, find any common factors
of the numerator and denominator, and divide them both by it. If they still
have a common factor, then divide them by it again. Eventually, they won't
have any common factor except ' 1 ', and then you'll know that the fraction is
in lowest terms.
Do 15 and 40 have any common factors ?
Let's see . . .
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, <em>5</em>, and 15 .
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4,<em> 5</em>, 8, 10, 20, and 40 .
Ah hah ! Do you see that ' <em>5</em> ' on both lists ? That's a common factor.
So 15/40 is NOT in lowest terms.
Divide the numerator and denominator both by 5 :
15 / 40 =<em> 3 / 8</em>
3 and 8 don't have any common factor except ' 1 '.
So 3/8 is the same number as 15/40, but in lowest terms.
Distribute the two: 2x + 6 = 18
Subtract the six: 2x = 12
Divide by two: x = 6
That's your answer!
