Answer:

-4,-4

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y.

x+y=-8

y=-x-8

xy=16

x(-x-8)=16

-x²-8x=16

x²+8x+16=0

x²+4x+4x+16=0

x(x+4)+4(x+4)=0

(x+4)(x+4)=0

x=-4,-4

HURRY PLEASE!<br> (g+2)^5

KengaRu [80]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the binomial theorem/Pascal's triangle here.

(a+b)^5 = (5 choose 0)a^5 + (5 choose 1)a^4*b + (5 choose 2)a^3*b^2 + (5 choose 3)a^2*b^3 + (5 choose 4)a*b^4 + (5 choose 5)b^5.

5 choose 0 = 1

5 choose 1 = 5

5 choose 2 = 10

5 choose 3 = 10

5 choose 4 = 5

5 choose 5 = 1

And 1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1, is the (5+1) = 6th row of pascal's triangle.

Therefore we get

g^5 + 5g^4*2 + 10g^3*2^2 + 10g^2*2^3 + 5g*2^4 + 2^5

which is

g^4 + 10g^4 + 40g^3 + 80g^2 + 80g + 32

Or, you could do the slow way, by just doing (g+2)(g+2)(g+2)(g+2)(g+2)

5. It is given that -2,4, a, b and care five consecutive terms of a geometric progression. Find the value of c.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

c = - 32

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio r of the sequence is

r = $\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }$ = $\frac{4}{-2}$ = - 2

To find the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by r

a = 4 × - 2 = - 8

b = - 8 × - 2 = 16

c = 16 × - 2 = - 32
