6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x³ - 23x² + 142x - 120

x³ - x² - 22x² + 22x + 120x - 120

x²(x - 1) - 22x(x - 1) + 120(x - 1)

(x - 1)(x² - 22x + 120)

(x - 1)(x² - 10x - 12x + 120)

(x - 1)[x(x - 10) - 12(x - 10)]

(x - 1) (x - 10) (x - 12)

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points

professor190 [17]

$Slope= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{-\frac{9}{2} - (-1)}{-2- (-\frac{5}{3})}=\frac{ - \frac{9}{2} + 1}{-2 + \frac{5}{3}} \\= \frac{ - \frac{7}{2}}{ - \frac{1}{3}} \\= \frac{ - \frac{7}{2}\cdot6}{ - \frac{1}{3}\cdot6} \\=\frac{-21}{ -2} \\ =\boxed{\bf{ \frac{21}{2}}}$

So... none of your answers are correct. The correct answer is 21/2.

-2 2/3, -5 1/3, -10 2/3, -21 1/3, -42 2/3. which formula can be used to describe the sequence?

Stella [2.4K]

Your sequence appears to be geometric with a common ratio of 2. It can be described by
a(n) = (-2 2/3)·2^(n-1)

_____
This can be written in a number of other forms, including
a(n) = (-8/3)·2^(n-1)
a(n) = (-1/3)·2^(n+2)
a(n) = (-4/3)·2^n
