the absolute value of a number is always positive. Therefore you cannot have an absolute value equal to a negative number.
the answer would be "no solution"
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
Answer:
B) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 
simplifies to 
, we only care about the quotient, which will be our oblique asymptote equation. Therefore, the oblique asymptote for the function will be . See the attached graph for a visual.
It is c because 8x2=16 and 8x4=32 and so on
