Answer:

Hello :

y = 2x² - x -6

y = 2 ( x² - 1/2 x - 3)

y = 2 (x² -1/2 x + 1/16 -1/16 -3)

y = 2 (( x - 1/4 )² - 49/16).....  the quadratic formula

y = 0 :  ( x - 1/4 )² - 49/16 = 0

( x - 1/4 )² - (7/4)² = 0

( x -1/4-7/4)( x -1/4+7/4)=0

(x -2)(x + 3/2) = 0

x - 2 = 0 or x + 3/2 =0

x = 2 or x = - 3/2

Let V be the volume of the pyramid of height 11 whose base is a square of side length 6. Find a formula for the area A of the ho
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Base area = 36

Volume of the pyramid = 132

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a pyramid = Base Area × Height/3

Base area = Length × Length (since base of the pyramid is a square)

Given the side length of the square = 6

Base area = 6×6

Base area = 36

Given height of pyramid =11

Volume of the pyramid = 36×11/3

Volume of the pyramid = 12×11

Volume of the pyramid = 132

What is the 9th term of the geometric sequence 4, −20, 100, …?
sveta [45]
First, we are going to find the common ratio of our geometric sequence using the formula: r= \frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}. For our sequence, we can infer that a_{n}=-20 and a_{n-1}=4. So lets replace those values in our formula:
r= \frac{-20}{4}
r=-5

Now that we have the common ratio, lets find the  explicit formula of our sequence. To do that we are going to use the formula: a_{n}=a_{1}*r^{n-1}. We know that a_{1}=4; we also know for our previous calculation that r=-5. So lets replace those values in our formula:
a_{n}=4*(-5)^{n-1}

Finally, to find the 9th therm in our sequence, we just need to replace n with 9 in our explicit formula:
a_{9}=4*(-5)^{9-1}
a_{9}=4*(-5)^{8}
a_{9}=1562500

We can conclude that the 9th term in our geometric sequence is <span>1,562,500</span>
