Answer:
1. 15
2. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The two sequence are geometric progression GP, because they follow a constant multiple (common ratio)
The nth term of a GP is;
Tn = ar^(n-1)
Where;
a = first term
r = common ratio
For the first sequence;
The common ratio r is
r = T3/T2 = 540/90 = 6
r = 6
T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar
T2 = 90 = ar
Substituting the values of r;
90 = a × 6
a = 90/6
a = 15
First term = 15
2. The sam method applies here.
Common ratio r = T3/T2 = 128/32 = 4
r = 4
T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar
T2 = 32 = ar
Substituting the values of r;
32 = a × 4
a = 32/4
a = 8
First term = 8
I believe its 16...
48 divided by 3!
hope this helps!

Answer:
<em>{ - 2 , 8 } </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
( x² - 6x ) = 2
4² = ( x² - 6x )
x² - 6x - 16 = 0
- 6 = - 8 + 2
- 16 = - 8 * 2
( x - 8 )( x + 2 ) = 0 ⇒ 
= - 2 , 
= 8
<em>{ - 2 , 8 }</em>
<span>So the question is what is 8/32 in the simplest form. To find out we need to simplify the fraction. In this case the nominator and the denominator are both multiple of 8 so the nominator is 8=1*8 and 32=4*8 so we can write (1*8)/(4*8) and we see that we can cancel out number 8 and get 1/4 which is the simplest form of the fraction. </span>
