So for this, you will be doing two different multiplications: 3 x 4 and √8 x √3.
3 x 4 = 12
√8 x √3 = √24
Now our result is 12√24, however, this can be simplified. Using the product rule of radicals (√ab = √a x √b), our simplification is such:
12√24 = 12√(8 x 3) = 12√(4 x 2 x 3) = 2 x 12√(2 x 3) = 24√6
In short, the answer is 24√6, or the first option.
One may note you never quite asked anything, now, assuming simplification,
Answer:
The two numbers following 1,-2,3,-4,5... are -6 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
index: 1 2 3 4 5 ....
value: 1 -2 3 -4 5
Let the index be n. Then the first term is a(1), the secon is a(2), and so on.
a(2) = 2*(-1)^(2-1) = 2*(-1) = -2 (correct)
a(3) = 3*(-1)^(3-1) = 3*(-1)^2 = 3 (correct)
a(4) = 4*(-1)^(4-1) = 4*(-1)^3 = -4 (correct)
So the general formula for a(n) is: a(n)=n(-1)^(n-1)
Thus,
a(5) = 5(-1)^4 = 5
a(6) = 6(-1)^5 = -6
a(7) = 7(-1)^6 = 7
The "next two numbers in the pattern" are -6 and 7. The first 7 numbers are
1,-2,3,-4,5, -6, 7
