Answer:
x= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 5 to both sides
-3x -5+5 = 10 +5
-3x = 15
Divide both sides by -3.
-3x/-3= 15/-3
x= -5
Answer:
(x+2) (x+3) (x-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x³-19x-30 = (x+2) (x²+ax-15) ... x³=x*(1*x²) while -30= (2)*(-15)
x³ +<u> 0</u>*x² - 19x -30 = x³ + (<u>2+a</u>)x² + (2a-15)x -30
2+a = 0
a = -2
x³-19x-30 = (x+2) (x²-2x-15) = (x+2) (x+3) (x-5)
Let us check series : -10 /-2 = 5 -50/-10 = 5
so it is a geometric series with a= -2 and r= 5
sum formula for n terms of geometric series = a ( r^n -1 ) /( r-1)
here we find S5 that is n= 5 = -2 ( 5^ 5 - 1) /( 5-1)
= -2 ( 3125 -1) / 4 = -1562
second series is : 1.5/1 = 1.5 2.25/1.5 = 1.5
this is also geometric series but n = 12 a= 1 and r= 1.5
we use same formula
S12 = 1 ( (1.5) ^12 -1) /( 1.5-1) =
128.74 / 0.5 = 257.49
Last is 2/1= 2 4/2 = 2 8/4 = 2 so r = 2 a = 1 and n = 12
we use same formula 1 ( 2^12 - 1) / (2-1)
= 4095
