Answer:

Let the three numbers be a,ar, ar^2 ,

where r is the common ratio.

⇒a+ar+ar^2 =28 and a^3 r^3 =512

⇒ar=8⇒a+ar^2 =20

⇒8r^2 −20r+8=0

⇒r=2,r= 1/2

If r=2,a=4

Therefore, the three numbers are 4,8,16.

What is the answer to this problem -2x – 4 < 3x + 21

horsena [70]

Start with

$-2x-4 < 3x+21$

Add 2x to both sides:

$-4 < 5x+21$

Subtract 21 from both sides:

$-25 < 5x$

Divide both sides by 5. Since it is positive, we don't have to change the inequality sign:

$-5 < x$

So, the answer is $x > -5$

Answer:
1/625

Explanation:
In case of multiplication of numbers with same base, we add the powers.
This means that:
a^x * a^y = a^(x+y)

Applying this to the given, we will find that:
(5^-1) * (5^-3) = 5^(-1-3)
= 5^-4
= 1/625

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Gradient = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Gradient of a line = Slope of the line

Since, slope of a line passing through two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by,
