Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a₁ = -3 = (-1)¹×3
a₂ = 6 = (-1)²×2×3
a₃ = -28 = (-1)³×2²×7
a₄ = 72 = (-1)⁴×2³×3²
a₅ = -360 = (-1)⁵×2³×3²×5
a₆ = 2160 = (-1)⁶×2⁴×3³×5
That's as far as I got. I can predict that a₇ is a multiple of -32 and a₈ is a multiple of 64, but I don't see the pattern with the other factors.
Answer:
The iron weighed 1/12 pound more than the aluminum.
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight of the aluminum is given as 1/2 pound. But that can also be written as 6/12 pound.
This is a subtraction problem (subtracting fractions...so also a common denominator problem)
In order to subtract fractions you have to get a common denominator.
7/12 - 1/2
= 7/12 - 6/12
= 1/12
The iron is 1/12 pound heavier than the aluminum.

Answer:
p is approximately equal to 1.125, -1.925
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this first by expanding, giving us a quadratic equation in the usual ax² + bx + c format, then solving that for p:
(4p - 4)(13p + 27) = 0
52p² + 108p - 52p - 108 = 0
52p² + 52p - 108 = 0
13p² + 13p - 27 = 0
13p² + 13p = 27
p² + p = 27 / 13
p² + p + 1/4 = 27/13 + 1/4
(p + 1/2)² = 108 / 52 + 13 / 52
(p + 1/2)² = 121 / 52
p + 1/2 = ± √(121 / 52)
p = -1/2 ± 11√(1/13) / 2
At that point we can simply plug those numbers into a calculator and solve it:
p ≈ 1.125, -1.925
