A₂ = 6      a₄ = 54

a_{n}  =  q^{n-1}  *  a_{1} 

\left \{ {{ a_{2} = q^{2-1} * a_{1} } \atop { a_{4} = q^{4-1}* a_{1}  }} \right.   \\  \\  \left \{ {{6 = q *  a_{1} } \atop {54 =  q^{3} *  a_{1}  }} \right.   \\  \\   \left \{ {{  a_{1} = \frac{6}{q} } \atop {54 = q^{3} * \frac{6}{q}  }} \right.  \\  \\   \left \{ {{ a_{1}  =  \frac{6}{q} } \atop {54 =  q^{2} * 6 }} \right. 

\left \{ {{ a_{1} =  \frac{6}{q} } \atop { q^{2} =9}} \right.  \\  \\  \left \{ {{ a_{1} = \frac{6}{q} } \atop {q= \sqrt{9} }} \right. 
 
q = 3     q = -3

a₁ = 6/3 = 2   a₁ = 6/-3 = -2

Solve the following compound inequality <br> 12 &lt; 2x-4/3 &lt; 16 <br> step by step
motikmotik

Answer:

x∈(20/3;26/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

12 < 2x-4/3 < 16

first we add 4/3 to each side

12+4/3<2x<16+4/3

we bring to the same denominator

12*3/3+4/3<2x<16*3/3+4/3

(36+4)/3<2x<(48+4/3)

40/3<2x<52/3

now we divide by 2

20/3<x<26/3

x∈(20/3;26/3)
