4 0

Answer:

a^8 ÷ b^12

Step-by-step explanation:

a^-5 · b^-4 / a^-13 · b^8

when dividing exponents with the same bases, subtract the exponents

a^8 · b^-12

do not leave a negative exponent; put it into the denominator and it becomes positive

b^-12 = 1 /b^12

The sum of the first three terms of geometric sequence is 14. If the first term is 2, find the possible values of the sum of the
Irina18 [472]

Geometric series are in the form of

a +a*r +a*r^2+...

Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio .

And it is given that

2 +2*r +2*r^2=14

2r^2+2r-12=0

r^2 +r-6=0

(r+3)(r-2)=0

r=-3,2

So the first five terms are

2+2(-3)+2(-3)^2+2(-3)^3+2(-3)^4  or 2+2(2)+2(2)^2+2(2)^3+2(2)^4

= 2-6+18-54+162 or 2+4+8+16+32

= 122 or 62

(Apex 2.2.4 math 8)
Gennadij [26K]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: slope = "rise over run" = 1.5/18 = 3/36 = 1/12 for the 1st section to the landing

slope is the change in height, the vertical change, divided by the change in horizontal distance

2nd section has slope 1/18 and covers 9 feet. That means it rises 1/2 foot

slope = 1/18 = (1/2)/9  

the door is 2 feet higher than the ground level,  1.5 + .5 = 2 feet change vertically
