2x^2 - 2x - 12 = 0
a) The GCF is 2x
2(x^2 - x - 6) = 0
What multiplies to negative six and adds to negative 1?
Negative 3 and positive 2.
2(x-3)(x+2) = 0
Solutions:
3, -2
8 centemeters equals 3.15 inches
Length of the actual bathroom = 20 x 2 inches = 40 inches = 10/3 ft
Width of the actual bathroom = 20 x 3.5 inches = 70 inches = 35/6 ft
Area of the actual bathroom = length x width = 10/3 x 35/6 = 19 square ft.
Answer:
The sequence above is a geometric sequence
For an nth in a geometric sequence

where n is the number of terms
a is the first term
r is the common ratio
From the question
a = 45
r = 15 / 45
The explicit formula for the sequence is
U(n) = 45(1/3)^n-1
Hope this helps you
