Since it is a geometric sequence each term will be a specific multiple of the term preceding it, called the common ratio...
126/42=378/126=1134/378=3
The sequence is a(n)=a(3)^(n-1) and we know the second term is 42 so:
42=a(3)^(2-1)
42=3a
a=14
So the first term is 14.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
the expression is
x² - 16x + _
the constant term is the square of the number residing with x divided by 2
the number number x = 16
therefore the constant term is (16/ 2)²
= 8²
= 64
the formula being used here is
(x + a)² = x² + 2ax + a²
What statement is conclusive
A: if a b oddthan a b is odd
