Answer:

<em>x = 1 and -2</em>

<em>Sum of the first ten terms = 1,398,100</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric progression 2x+2, 16, 64x...

Since they are in GP, their common ratio is expressed as;

16/2x+2 = 64x/16

16/2(x+1) = 4x

8/x+1 = 4x

Cross multiply

4x(x+1) = 8

4x²+4x = 8

4x²+4x - 8 = 0

divide through by 4

x²+x - 2 = 0

Factorize

x²+2x-x- 2 = 0

x(x+2)-1(x+2) = 0

(x-1)(x+2) = 0

x = 1 and -2

Hence the values of x are 1 and -2

Get the common ratio;

r = 16/2x+2

Since x = 1

r = 16/2(1)+2

r = 16/4

r = 4

Sum of the first n terms is expressed as;

Sn = a(rⁿ-1)/r-1

a = 2x+2

a = 2(1)+2

a = 4

Substitute;

S10 = 4(4^10 - 1)/4 - 1

S10 = 4(1,048,576-1)/3

S10 = 4,194,300/3

S10 = 1,398,100

Hence the sum of the first ten terms is 1,398,100

Quick algebra 1 question for 50 points!
Otrada [13]

The number of songs that Deante' would have downloaded during month 9 is 58 songs.

<h3>What is a regression line?</h3>

A regression line is a statistical line that best describes the behavior of a data set and such, it is a line that best fits a set of data.

By using Microsoft excel to plot the data on a scatter plot, we can logically deduce that line of best fit for the songs downloaded is given by:

y = 2.03x + 39.7

Thus, the number of songs that Deante' would have downloaded during month 9 is:

y = 2.03(9) + 39.7

y = 18.27 + 39.7

y = 57.97 ≈ 58 songs.

Find two solutions to the equation (x^3 − 64)(x^5 − 1) = 0.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

the two roots are x = 1 and x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

(x³ − 64) (x⁵ − 1) = 0.

Now,

for the above relation to be true the  following condition must be followed:

Either  (x³ − 64) = 0 ............(1)

or

(x⁵ − 1) = 0 ..........(2)

Therefore,

considering the first equation, we have

(x³ − 64) = 0

adding 64 both sides, we get

x³ − 64 + 64 = 0 + 64

or

x³ = 64

taking the cube root both the sides, we have

∛x³ = ∛64

or

x = ∛(4 × 4 × 4)

or

x = 4

similarly considering the equation (2) , we have

(x⁵ − 1) = 0

adding the number 1 both the sides, we get

x⁵ − 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

or

x⁵ = 1

taking the fifth root both the sides, we get

\sqrt[5]{x^5}=\sqrt[5]{1}

also,

1 can be written as 1⁵

therefore,

\sqrt[5]{x^5}=\sqrt[5]{1^5}

or

x = 1

Hence,

the two roots are x = 1 and x = 4
