Step-by-step explanation:

the solution are

x = 1 or x = -15

x^2 + 14x - 15 =0

x^2 + 14x = 15

to write the left hand side as a perfect square we add 49 to both sides :

x^2 + 14x + 49 = 15 + 49

x^2 + 2.x.7 + 7^2 = 64

using the identity (a^2 + b^2) = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

(x + 7)^2 = 64

x + 7 = √64 or x + 7 = -√64

x = 8 - 7 or x = - 8 - 7

= 1 = - 15

Answer:

$-1,4,-7,10,...$ neither

$192,24,3,\frac{3}{8},...$ geometric progression

$-25,-18,-11,-4,...$ arithmetic progression

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

sequences: $-1,4,-7,10,...$

$192,24,3,\frac{3}{8},...$

$-25,-18,-11,-4,...$

To find: which of the given sequence forms arithmetic progression, geometric progression or neither of them

Solution:

A sequence forms an arithmetic progression if difference between terms remain same.

A sequence forms a geometric progression if ratio of the consecutive terms is same.

For $-1,4,-7,10,...$ :

$4-(-1)=5\\-7-4=-11\\10-(-7)=17\\So,\,\,4-(-1)\neq -7-4\neq 10-(-7)$

Hence,the given sequence does not form an arithmetic progression.

$\frac{4}{-1}=-4\\\frac{-7}{4}=\frac{-7}{4}\\\frac{10}{-7}=\frac{-10}{7}\\So,\,\,\frac{4}{-1}\neq \frac{-7}{4}\neq \frac{10}{-7}$

Hence,the given sequence does not form a geometric progression.

So, $-1,4,-7,10,...$ is neither an arithmetic progression nor a geometric progression.

For $192,24,3,\frac{3}{8},...$ :

$\frac{24}{192}=\frac{1}{8}\\\frac{3}{24}=\frac{1}{8}\\\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{3}=\frac{1}{8}\\So,\,\,\frac{24}{192}=\frac{3}{24}=\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{3}$

As ratio of the consecutive terms is same, the sequence forms a geometric progression.

For $-25,-18,-11,-4,...$ :

$-18-(-25)=-18+25=7\\-11-(-18)=-11+18=7\\-4-(-11)=-4+11=7\\So,\,\,-18-(-25)=-11-(-18)=-4-(-11)$

As the difference between the consecutive terms is the same, the sequence forms an arithmetic progression.

Abdul is creating a cushion that is 1 foot by 2 feet by 3 feet. He wants to find the least amount of fabric he will need to cove

netineya [11]

Answer:

The least amount of fabric are 22 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of a rectangular prism is given by the formula

$SA=2B+PH$

where

B is the area of the base

P is the perimeter of the base

H is the height of the prism

Let

L ---> the length pf the prism

W ---> the width of the prism

H ---> is the height of the prism

Let

$L=2\ ft\\W=3\ ft\\H=1\ ft$

Find the area of the base

$B=LW=(2)(3)=6\ ft^2$

Find the perimeter of the base

$P=2(L+W)=2(2+3)=10\ ft$

Find the surface area

$SA=2(6)+10(1)=22\ ft^2$

therefore

The least amount of fabric are 22 square feet
