Answer:
The mean is 
Step-by-step explanation:
A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32
Well 12 inches is a foot so 24inches is 2 feet so there is a hint so 90 divided by 12 and there is part of it
Answer:
x = -16 or x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the roots of a polynomial function, set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for x.
x² + 10x - 96 = 0
We need to factor the left side. The left side is a quadratic polynomial whose first coefficient is 1. We need two numbers whose product is -96 and whose sum is 10. The numbers are 16 and -6.
(x + 16)(x - 6) = 0
If a product of two factors equals zero, then one factor or the other or both must equal zero.
x + 16 = 0 or x - 6 = 0
x = -16 or x = 6
