Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_{n+1}=a_n\cdot r$

So, if the common ratio is -5 the next term is always (-5) times the previous term.

what number must be added to 3 and 8 so that the ratio of the first number to the second number is equal to 3 :4

Grace [21]

The answer is 12.
Steps
If that number is x
(3+x)/(8+x)=3/4
"Cross multply"
4(3+x)=3(8+x)
12+4x=24+3x
x=12
To check: add 12 to 3 and 8. 3+12=15 and 8+12=20. 15/20=3/4

Factor 4x^4yz-16y^3z

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x^4yz-16y^3z\\\\4x^4yz=4yz\cdot x^4\\\\16y^3z=4yz\cdot4y^2\\\\4x^4yz-16y^3z=4yz\cdot x^4-4yz\cdot4y^2=4yz(x^4-4y^2)\\\\x^4-4y^2=x^{2\cdot2}-2^2y^2=(x^2)^2-(2y)^2=(x^2-2y)(x^2+2y)\\\\Used:\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\(ab)^n=a^nb^n\\\\a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\4x^4yz-16y^3z=4yz(x^2-2y)(x^2+2y)$
