Answer:

Common difference (d) = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

formula=>

an = a + (n-1)d

=> -8 = 7 + (4-1)d

Solve x2 – 4x – 9 = 29 for x.

Irina-Kira [14]

$x^2 - 4x - 9 = 29 \\ x^2 - 4x - 9 - 29 = 0 \\ x^2 - 4x - 38 = 0 \\ x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a} 
$ ; where a = 1, b = -4 and c = -38
$x= \frac{-(-4) \pm 
\sqrt{ 
(-4)^{2} -4 \times 1 \times -38} }{2 \times 1} \\ = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{ 16 +152} }{2} \\ =\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{ 168} }{2} \\ =\frac{4 \pm 
2\sqrt{42} }{2} \\ 
=2+\sqrt{42} \ or \ 2-\sqrt{42}\\=8.48 \ or \ -4.48$

How am I supposed to solve this ?? And what’s the answer ?

Ivenika [448]

I don't have a clue what this a0 at the right stands for, but if we neglected it, we can solve the problem.
$(5x)^2=5^2x^2=25x^2$
So the answer would be 25.

Hope this helps.

What characteristics lead to a downward sloping demand curve?

Makovka662 [10]

In economics, the downward sloping demand curve is used to illustrate the law of diminishing marginal utility. This means that if more of the product is consumed, the marginal benefit to the consumer falls. This is also the instance in which the consumers are willing to pay less than the original amount for the same product.
