Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

3x + 6(x - 11) = 5x - 18

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 6: 3x + 6x - 66 = 5x - 18
Combine like terms: 9x - 66 = 5x - 18
Isolate x terms: 4x - 66 = -18
Isolate x term: 4x = 48
Isolate x: x = 12

Given a term in the geometric sequence and the common ratio find the first five terms the explicit form and the recursive formul

Pani-rosa [81]

A1 = 4
a2 = 5a1 = 5 x 4 = 20
a3 = 5a2 = 5 x 20 = 100
a4 = 5a3 = 5 x 100 = 500
a5 = 5a4 = 5 x 500 = 2,500

Tn = ar^(n-1); where a = 4, r = 5
Tn = 4(5)^(n-1) = 4/5 (5)^n
Explicit formular is Tn = 4/5 (5)^n

Recursive formular is $a_{n+1} = 5a_{n-1}$

How do you factor (y^4-x^9) ? Thank you

polet [3.4K]

So since you know that x^2-1 is equal to (x-1)(x+1),
you can figure that this factors to
(y^2-x^3)(y^2+x^3)
because you know how the difference of two squares formula, stated on the top line of this answer.

You are spreading fertilizer on a golf course at the rate of 40 pounds per 10,000 square feet. If the course is 320 acres, how m

AnnyKZ [126]

If you are spreading fertilizer on a golf course at the rate of 40 pounds per 10,000 square feet and the course is 320 acres, you can calculate the amount of fertilizer that will be needed by converting acres to square feet. So, 320 acres are 13,939,200 square feet which means you will need 55,756.8 pounds of fertilizer.
