Answer:

The number of terms of the G.P. is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the G.P. has first term a, common ratio r and the number of terms n.

The G.P. has first term 2, so a = 2.

Now, the fourth term is 54 i.e. ar³ = 54

⇒ 2r³ = 54

⇒ r³ = 27

⇒ r = 3

Now, the last term i.e. the nth term is= ar^{n - 1} = 486

⇒ 2 \times 3^{n - 1} = 486

⇒ 3^{n - 1} = 243 = 3^{5}

Hence, (n - 1) = 5

⇒ n = 6

So the number of terms of the G.P. is 6 (Answer)

maxonik [38]

Answer:

answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCDE go through dilation over center (6 , -2) with factor of 1/2 to FGHIJ

AB // FG slope: -2 , √20:√5 = 2: 1

BC // GH // X axis 8:4 = 2:1

CD // HI, slope= 1 , √8:√2 = 2:1

DE // IJ // x axis, 4:2 = 2:1

EA // JF // y axis, 2:1

What are the zeros of the function? h(x)=x^3−2x^2−3x
maksim [4K]
To find the zeroes you make the function equal to zero and then solve. 
0=x^3-2x^2-3x
Then factor out the x to get a quadratic inside the parentheses.
 0=x(x^2-2x-3)
Factor the inside quadratic formula.
x(x^2-2x-3)=x((x-3)(x+1))
Lastly, use the zero product property to solve.
x*(x-3)*(x+1)=0
x=0,x=3,x=-1
