Answer:

± 60

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = a₁ * rⁿ⁻¹

a₇ = 30 = a₁ * r⁷⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁶     (1)

a₅ = 120 = a₁ * r⁵⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁴     (2)

(1)/(2): 30/120 = 1/4 = r²

r = ± 1/2   or ± 0.5

a₁ = a₇/r⁶ = 30/0.5⁶ = 1920

a₆ = 1920 * (± 1/2)⁶⁻¹ = 1920 * ± 1/32 = ± 60

a) The quadratic 3x^2-12x-11 can be written in the form 3(x+a)^2+b. Find the values of a and b. b) Given that the solutions of t
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 3x^2-12x-11=3*x^2-3*2*2*x+3*4-23=3*(x^2-2*2x+2^2)-23=3*(x-2)^2-23

so  a= -2 ,b= -23

b) x1=[12+V(12^2-4*3* -11)]/6=12/6+V(144+132)/6=2+2/6V69=2+1/3V69=

2+V69/9=2+V23/3

c=2, d= 23/3
