Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an arithmetic sequence is nth term=a+(n-1)d. First term is a and common difference is d.

Let's plug our info in.

-20=12+(9-1)d

-20=12+8d

Subtract 12 from both sides.

-32=8d

Divide both sides by 8.

d=-4

Have a wonderful day! :D

The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 270, find the first number

mylen [45]

Let the first number be x

The second number is x + 2

The third number is x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 270

3x = 270 - 6

x = 88

x is not prime so there is no first number!

What is the purpose of multiplying by the conjugate of a complex denominator when finding the quotient of complex numbers?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

C: Radicals in the denominators of fractions are considered unsimplified. You need to multiply a fraction by a value that removes radicals or imaginary numbers in the denominator, which is the complex conjugate of the denominator.
