Since they’re both in standard form and they both say that y is equal to something, you just have to set them up with one another
2x-10=4x-8
Subtract 2x
-10=2x-8
Add 8
-2=2x
Divide by 2
-1=x
x=-1
Check it by inserting it
2(-1)-10=4(-1)-8
-2-10=-4-8
-12=-12
So x=-1 is the answer
Answer: Only the second sequence is arithmetic.
Work:
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which there is a common value added or subtracted between each term in the sequence.
The first option, -2, 4, -6, 8,... is not arithmetic because the terms switch back and forth between positive and negative signs meaning that there is no common value that can be added between each term.
The second option, -8, -6, -4, -2,... is arithmetic because there is a common difference between each term which is +2.
The third option, 2, 4, 8, 16,... is not arithmetic but is, in fact, geometric. There is no common value that is added or subtracted between each term.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+5)² = 36
x+ 5 = ±√36 = ±6
x = -5 ±6 = 1, -11
Answer:
The standard form of a circle's equation is (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find it out by factoring but ill do it easier way.
(x + 1 ) = 0 put the first and second equation to 0
x = -1
x³ + 2x² - 5x - 6 = 0 Now plug in the x in the equation
(-1)³ + 2(-1)² - 5(-1) - 6 = 0
0 = 0
so (x + 1) is a factor.
