Answer:

You selected the correct answer: {x | x <<em> </em>-4 or x > 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 2)(x + 4) > 0

Use FOIL method to expand (x - 2)(x + 4):

5(x^{2} + 2x - 8) > 0

Distribute 5 into (x^{2} + 2x - 8)

5x^{2} + 10x - 40 > 0

Divide all terms by 5 from both sides of the inequality:

\frac{5x^{2}}{5}  + \frac{10x}{5}  - \frac{40}{5} > \frac{0}{5}

x^{2} + 2x - 8 > 0

Factor the trinomial:

(x + 4) ( x - 2)  > 0

x < -4 or x > -2

Therefore, the solution set to the inequality is {x | x < -4 or x > 2}

<em>Interval notation:  </em>(-∞, -4) ∪ (2, ∞)

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!! How many terms are in the geometric sequence having a first term of 2, a last term of 32, and a common r
Elza [17]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

first term a= 2

last term tn= 32

common ratio r= -2

number of terms

= tn=ar^n-1

32 = 2*(-2)^n-1

divide both sides by 2

32/2 = 2*(-2)^n-1/2

16 = (-2)^n-1

Then...use 16 in the power of 2

(-2)^4 = (-2)^n-1

The bases (-2), cancels out

so we have: 4 = n-1

collect like terms

4-1 = n

3 = n

n= 3
