The results in the question conclude that it is an isosceles triangle so your answer can vary; for example, your could be 10, 22, 18 which would make the perimeter 50 like the question states. So your answer will vary anyways you just have to remember that it is an isosceles triangle so all three sides will be a different length.

Choose the correct product of (6x − 2)(6x + 2). (1 point)
Vanyuwa [196]
You did not give any choices but this can easily be solved using the FOIL method. 

FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last. 

In your equation you have (6x-2)(6x+2)
You will multiply the terms that correspond to each letter 

First: Means first terms of each set. In this case 6x and 6x
6x x 6x = 36x^{2} Now you have your first term in the sequence.

Outside: Means terms found in the outside areas of the whole equation, in this case it is 6x and 2
6x x 2 = 12x Now this is the second term

Inside: Means terms found in the inside areas of the whole equation, in this case it is -2 and 6x
-2 x 6x = -12x Now this is your third term

Last: Means the last terms of each set. In this case it is -2 and 2
-2 x 2 = -4  This is your last term

Now you have what you need for your new equation:

36x^{2} + 12x -12x - 4

Because your second and third terms are like terms, you can combine them by doing the operation indicated. 12x-12x = 0 so now you can cancel it out from your equation and your left with:

36 x^{2} - 4 This is your product

What is the recursive rule for the sequence 2, -1, 1/2 , -1/4
Helga [31]

Answer:

a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}

a_1=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive rule is a term defined in terms of other terms in the sequence.

The is a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio.

The common ratio can be found by dividing a term by previous term.

For example, all of these are equal:

\frac{-1}{2}

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-1}

\frac{\frac{-1}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}

They are all equal to \frac{-1}{2}.

So we are saying:

\frac{\text{term}}{\text{previous term}}}=\frac{-1}{2}

More formally:

\frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}=\frac{-1}{2}.

Multiply both sides by a_{n-1}:

a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}

When doing recursive form, you need to state a term of the sequence (or more depending on the recursive form you have).

So the first term is 2.

So the full thing for the answer is:

a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}

a_1=2
