Answer:
The explicit formula for a given geometric sequence is of the form

Step-by-step explanation:
Given sequence is 
Let
To find the common ratio r:



Therefore r=-3



Therefore r=-3
Therefore common ratio is -3
Therefore given sequence is geometric sequence.
The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is
, where common ratio is r.
From given sequence we are having r=-3
Therefore the explicit formula for a given geometric sequence is of the form 


Answer:
You didn't give the geometric sequence in question.
But to find the nth term of a geometric sequence, use the formula
Sn = ar^(n - 1)
Where a is the first term of the sequence
r is the common ratio of the sequence.
Example: To find the nth term of the geometric sequence
1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, ...
Here, a = 1/2
r = 1/4 ÷ 1/2 = 1/8 ÷ 1/4 = 1/16 ÷ 1/8 = 1/2.
Sn = (1/2)(1/2)^( n - 1)
Apply this method to the sequence you were given, it will be helpful.
The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39 ⇒x=39/2=19.5
x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
2y=9 ⇒y=9/2=4.5
The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5
To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15
Since the measurement of the longest side is missing we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse or longest side.
18^2 + 32^2 = c (hypotenuse) ^2
324 + 1,024 = c^2
1,348 = c^2
sqrt 1,348 = c
36.72 = c
i do not agree with ted because when you use the pythagorean theorem you do not get 47cm
this can be proved by
18^2 + 32 ^2 = 47^2
we already know the left side is 1,348
1,348 = 47^2
1,348 does not equal 2,209 which is 47 squared
Answer:
(x + 4) (x - 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
x^2 - 5 x - 36
The factors of -36 that sum to -5 are 4 and -9. So, x^2 - 5 x - 36 = (x + 4) (x - 9):
Answer: (x + 4) (x - 9)
