Hi there!
![\large\boxed{(-\infty, \sqrt[3]{-4}) \text{ and } (0, \infty) }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clarge%5Cboxed%7B%28-%5Cinfty%2C%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B-4%7D%29%20%5Ctext%7B%20and%20%7D%20%280%2C%20%5Cinfty%29%20%7D)
We can find the values of x for which f(x) is decreasing by finding the derivative of f(x):

Taking the derivative gets:

Find the values for which f'(x) < 0 (less than 0, so f(x) decreasing):
0 = -8/x³ - 2
2 = -8/x³
2x³ = -8
x³ = -4
![x = \sqrt[3]{-4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B-4%7D)
Another critical point is also where the graph has an asymptote (undefined), so at x = 0.
Plug in points into the equation for f'(x) on both sides of each x value to find the intervals for which the graph is less than 0:
f'(1) = -8/1 - 2 = -10 < 0
f'(-1) = -8/(-1) - 2 = 6 > 0
f'(-2) = -8/-8 - 2 = -1 < 0
Thus, the values of x are:

Answer:
2,125,760
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term (a) is 8
The fourth term is 216
Hence the sum of the first 12 term can be calculated as follows
= 8-8(3)^12/1-3
= 8-24^12/-2
= 2,125,760
The sum of first 12 terms is 2,125,760
Answer:
The sum of 8 geometric sequence is 959780
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given
this sequence is geometric
-4 , 24 , -144
First term is -4
so, 
now, we can find common ratio

we can use formula

n=8
now, we can plug values

now, we can simplify it
and we get

When the pentagon is drawn to scale then its value of x will be x=3.3 cm
<h3>What is the pentagon?</h3>
The pentagon is defined as the shape having five sides connected together.
Now it is given in the question that
For small pentagone
Bottom =x
left =7 cm
For larger pentagone
Bottom=7cm
left=15cm
Now since the pentagon is actually dilated from its size to the new bigger size. It means that the equivalent ratio of both the pentagons will be equal.
For smaller pentagon

For bigger pentagon

Since both, the ratio is the same


Thus the pentagon is drawn to scale than its value of x will be x=3.3 cm
