Common difference
<u>Difference of first two</u>
- d = (a -b) - (a + b) = -2b
<u>Difference of second two</u>
<u>Difference of last two</u>
<u>Now comparing d:</u>
- -2b = ab - (a - b)
- ab - a = - 3b
- a(1 - b) = 3b
- a = 3b/(1 - b)
and
- a/b - ab = -2b
- a(1/b - b) = -2b
- a = 2b²/(b² - 1)
<u>Eliminating a:</u>
- 2b²/(b² - 1) = 3b/(1 - b)
- 2b/(b+1) = -3
- 2b = -3b - 3
- 5b = - 3
- b = -3/5
<u>Finding a:</u>
- a = 3b/(1 - b) =
- 3*(-3/5) *1/(1 - (-3/5)) =
- -9/5*5/8 =
- -9/8
<u>So the first term is:</u>
- a + b = -3/5 - 9/8 = -24/40 - 45/40 = - 69/40
<u>Common difference:</u>
<u>The 6th term:</u>
- a₆ = a₁ + 5d =
- -69/40 + 5*6/5 =
- -69/40 + 240/40 =
- 171/40 = 4 11/40
Answer:
63 + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
when you do parenthesis and the number is next to another one with no symbol you multiply so 4-2 = 2 2 x 5 = 10 giving you 63 + 10
Let's call the two numbers 
and 
.
Given these variables, we can say: 
, based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:
To solve, we can simply substitute 
in for in the second equation and solve.
- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition
- Cross multiplication (
)
- Subtract
from both sides of the equation
- Factor left side of the equation
Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since is not positive in this case, 
is not a solution.
Thus, 
is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
Well, I bet you want your answer right away! So here it is.
<span>Given <span>f (x) = 3x + 2</span> and <span>g(x) = 4 – 5x</span>, find <span>(f + g)(x), (f – g)(x), (f × g)(x)</span>, and <span>(f / g)(x)</span>.</span>
To find the answers, all I have to do is apply the operations (plus, minus, times, and divide) that they tell me to, in the order that they tell me to.
(f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x)
= [3x + 2] + [4 – 5x]
= 3x + 2 + 4 – 5x
= 3x – 5x + 2 + 4
= –2x + 6
(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)
= [3x + 2] – [4 – 5x]
= 3x + 2 – 4 + 5x
= 3x + 5x + 2 – 4
= 8x – 2
(f × g)(x) = [f (x)][g(x)]
= (3x + 2)(4 – 5x)
= 12x + 8 – 15x2 – 10x
= –15x2 + 2x + 8
<span>\left(\small{\dfrac{f}{g}}\right)(x) = \small{\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}}<span><span>(<span><span>g</span><span>f</span><span></span></span>)</span>(x)=<span><span><span>g(x)</span></span><span><span>f(x)</span></span><span></span></span></span></span><span>= \small{\dfrac{3x+2}{4-5x}}<span>=<span><span><span>4−5x</span></span><span><span>3x+2</span></span><span></span></span></span></span>
My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.
( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6
( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2
( f × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8
<span>\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \left(\small{\dfrac{\mathit{f}}{\mathit{g}}}\right)(\mathit{x}) = \small{\dfrac{3\mathit{x} + 2}{4 - 5\mathit{x}}} }}<span><span>(<span><span>g</span><span>f</span><span></span></span>)</span>(x)=<span><span><span>4−5x</span></span><span><span>3x+2</span></span><span>
Hope I helped! :) If I did not help that's okay.
