Answer:
4 is the greatest common factor of 12
So, here in part a), we are given n terms (no specific no. of terms given), so no. of terms = n , also, the common difference is defined as the difference between the next term to a specific term and the term, i.e , where d is the common difference, so here d = 49 - 45 = 4
Also, here the last term is 49 let say it the nth term, as no number of terms are given, so using the Arithmetic Progression formula, we can write as ;
Now, as we assumed there are n terms, so using the sum formula, we can have ;
Now, for part b) we are given a geometric progression with first term = a = 1, common ratio = r = (3/1) = 3, and no. of terms = n = 6, so now putting all values in the sum formula we will have;
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
5-x=12 subtract 5 from both sides to get x alone
-x=7 divide both sides by -1 so that x is positive
x=-7
The answer is 9. 9x4=36 and 9x7=63. There are no higher factors
Number=x
1/2x+7=-2
1/2x=-2-7
=-9
x=-18
