Answer:
The 21st term is 137.
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic progression:
In an arithmetic progression the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and its called common difference.
The nth term is given by:

In which
is the first term and d is the common difference.
The first two terms are -3, 4.
This means that 
So


The 21st term is

The 21st term is 137.
Answer:
the slope is 54
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
44
Step-by-step explanation:
5 1/2 / 1/8
turn into improper fraction
11/2 then change to multiplication
11/2*8/1(have to flip)
88/2(multiply across)
simplify=44
Combining the like terms, the simplified polynomials are given as follows:
a) 4x² - 14x + 17
b) -5x² - 20x + 8
<h3>How are polynomials simplified?</h3>
Polynomials are simplified combining the like terms, that is, adding these numbers with the same variable.
Item a:
4(x - 2)(x + 1) - 5(2x - 5)
Applying the distributive property:
4(x² - x - 2) - 10x + 25
4x² - 4x - 8 - 10x + 25
Combining the like terms:
4x² - 4x - 10x - 8 + 25
4x² - 14x + 17
Item b:
-5(x + 2)² + 28
-5(x² + 4x + 4) + 28
-5x² - 20x - 20 + 28
-5x² - 20x + 8
