Answer:

geometric

Step-by-step explanation:

The signs of the terms alternate, so it cannot be an arithmetic sequence.

The ratios of terms are ...

6/-3 = -12/6 = 24/-12 = -2

The terms have a constant ratio of -2, so the sequence is geometric.

What is the x value such that y =15 - 3x and y = 0? Please explain how you got this answer.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

So how i came about to get this answer, was

y=15-3x

y=15-3(5)

y=15-15

y=0

I found five by testing out different numbers for x such as 1 2 3 4, but when i got to five, that was where i got the answer, as shown above.

Simplify (4ab^2)^3 Any help is appreciated

Pie

Answer:

$64a^{3} b^{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Distribute the exponent outside of the parentheses to the terms inside the parentheses. In this case, multiply the 3 outside the parentheses with the exponent of each of the terms inside:

$(4ab^{2} )^3$

$4^{3}$ · $a^{3}$ · $b^{6}$

2) The variables are fine - you can't simplify them further. All you need to do now is multiply the $4^{3}$ out. Remember that it's kind of like asking, "what is 4 × 4 ×4?"

$4$ · $4$ · $4$ · $a^{3}$ · $b^{6}$
