Answer:

The nth term is Tn = 2[T(n- 1) -2]

The next term is 356

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Terms: 15,26,48,92,180

Solving (a) : The recursive n term

We have:

T1 = 15

T2 = 26 = 13 * 2 = (15 - 2) * 2

T3 = 48 = 24 * 2 = (26 - 2) * 2

T4 = 92 = 46 * 2 = (48 - 2) * 2

T5 = 180 = 90 * 2 = (92 - 2) * 2

So, the nth term can be represented as:

Tn = [T(n-1) - 2] * 2

Tn = 2[T(n-1) - 2]

The next term is the 6th term.

So, substitute 6 for n in the above formula.

T6 = 2 * [T(6 - 1) - 2]

T6 = 2 * [T5 - 2]

Substitute 180 for T5

T6 = 2 * (180 - 2)

T6 = 2 * 178

T6 = 356

Solving quadratic equation using the completing method.<br>(a).x^2+6x+1=0​
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

x = -3 + 2\sqrt2  \ , \ x = -3 - 2\sqrt2

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x + 1 = 0

a = 1 , b = 6 , c = 1

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36-4}}{2}\\\\x=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{32}}{2}\\\\x= \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{16 \times 2}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-6 +4\sqrt2 }{2}\\\\x = -3 + 2\sqrt2  \ , \ x = -3 - 2\sqrt2

Please help me find the greatest common factor for these 2 problems..
Kisachek [45]

A greatest common factor is the largest number that goes into two or more numbers (in this case two). To find the GCF of two numbers, we have to find the prime factorization (how to express a number as a product of prime numbers) and then see which numbers are common in both of the prime factorizations.

11. The prime factorization of 12 is 3 * 2 * 2. The prime factorization of 18 is 3 * 3 * 2. Looking at the prime factorizations, we can see that both of them have 3 and 2. That means that the GCF is 3 * 2 which is 6.

12. The prime factorization of 48 is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3. The prime factorization of 80 is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5. We see that the numbers shared are 2, 2, 2, and 2. That means that the GCF is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 or 16.

Examine the system of equations.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

\boxed{\boxed{\sf x=-3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf y = -3x - 2

\sf y=7

We'll substitute y into the equation:

\sf 7 = -3x - 2

Switch sides:

\sf -3x-2=7

Add 2 to both sides

\sf -3x-2+2=7+2

\sf -3x=9

Divide both sides by -3:

\sf \cfrac{-3x}{-3}=\cfrac{9}{-3}

\sf x=-3

Therefore, the value of x/solution is -3

Find the length of CD.
aliina [53]

Answer:

The answer to your question is CD = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

AD = 8

BD = 2

CD = ?

Process

Use proportions to solve this problem. Compare triangle ACD and triangle CDB.

Large triangle     CD/AD

Small triangle      BD/CD

Equal both proportions

                            CD/BD = AD/CD

-Solve for CD

                             CD² = AD x BD

-Substitution

                              CD² = 8 x 2

-Simplification

                              CD² = 16

-Result

                              CD = 4
