The common ratio is -1/2
-96 * -1/2 = 48
48 * -1/2 = -24
-24 * -1/2 = 12
12 * -1/2 = 6

General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
<u>Algebra I</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = 4x - 2
g(x) = x + 1
<u>Step 2: Find</u>
<em>Find (f - g)(x)</em>
- Substitute: (f - g)(x) = 4x - 2 - (x + 1)
- Distribute -1: (f - g)(x) = 4x - 2 - x - 1
- Combine like terms: (f - g)(x) = 3x - 3
<em>Find (f - g)(3)</em>
- Substitute: (f - g)(3) = 3(3) - 3
- Multiply: (f - g)(3) = 9 - 3
- Subtract: (f - g)(3) = 6
659 divided by 8 = 82 R3.
So the answer is 82.
Therefore, a is 7 aka real part and b is 19 which is imaginary part.
