<span>The sum of 324, 435, and 546 is 1305. If this number were to be expressed by the base of 7, we would need to figure out what value of exponent would satisfy the requirement. This can be done by setting up an equation where 7 to the power of x must equal 1305. Using logarithms, one can solve for x and find it to be 3.6866853. Thus the sum of the aforementioned numbers, expressed in by the base of 7, is 7^3.6866853.</span>
Answer:
x = -0.2 and x = -3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms in the given equation, by subtracting 2x^2 from both sides:
6x^2 + 15x + 3 = 2x^2
-2x^2 = -2x^2
----------------------------------
4x^2 + 15x + 3 = 0
This is a quadratic equation. We'll find the two solutions using the quadratic equation
-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)
x = ---------------------------
2a
Here the coefficients of the quadratic are a = 4, b = 15 and c = 3.
Thus, the discriminant b^2 - 4ac is 15^2 - 4(4)(3), or +177
and from that we know we'll find two real, unequal roots.
-15 ± √177
The roots are: x = ------------------- , or x = -0.2 and x = -3.5

D. -3,-10,-17,-24,-31...this is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of -7.
an arithmetic sequence...u have to be able to add the same number to each term to get the next term. On this sequence, the common difference is -7. This means by adding -7 to each term, we arrive at the next term.
