Answer:

(x+5/2)^2 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x^{2} +20x +25 =0

Divide by 4

4/4 x^{2} +20/4x +25/4 =0

x^2 +5x +25/4 =0

Subtract 25/4 from each side

x^2 +5x +25/4 -25/4 =-25/4

x^2 +5x =-25/4

Take the coefficent of x

Divide by 2

5/2

Square it

25/4

Add it to each side

x^2 +5x +25/4 =-25/4+25/4

(x+5/2)^2 = 0

Take the square root of each side

x+5/2 = 0

x = -5/2

Answer:

(2x + 5)² = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² + 20x + 25 = 0

4x² + 10x + 10x + 25 = 0

2x(2x + 5) + 5(2x + 5) = 0

(2x + 5)(2x + 5) = 0

(2x + 5)² = 0

1. Geometric Sequence

2. $a_n = a_{n-1} * 3$

3. $a_n = 6 * (3)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

6, 18, 54, 162,....

Here

$a_1 =6\\a_2 = 18\\a_3 = 54$

(a) Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence?

We can see that the difference between the terms is not same so it cannot be an arithmetic sequence.

We have to check for common ratio (ratio between consecutive terms of a sequence) denoted by r

$r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{18}{6}= 3\\r = \frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{54}{18} = 3$

As the common ratio is same, the given sequence is a geometric sequence.

(b) How can you find the next number in the sequence?

Recursive formulas are used to find the next number in sequence using previous term

Recursive formula for a geometric sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_{n-1} * r$

In case of given sequence,

$a_n = a_{n-1} * 3$

So to find the 5th term

$a_5 = a_4*3\\a_5 = 162*3\\a_5 = 486$

(c) Give the rule you would use to find the 20th week.

In order to find the pushups for 20th week, explicit formul for sequence will be used.

The general form of explicit formula is given by:

$a_n = a_1 * r^{n-1}$

Putting the values of a_1 and r

$a_n = 6 * (3)^{n-1}$

Hence,

1. Geometric Sequence

2. $a_n = a_{n-1} * 3$

3. $a_n = 6 * (3)^{n-1}$

Answer:

Question 6: -8

Question 7: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 6:

The reason question 6 is -8 is because of the distance in between each number, e.g -7 and -15. This is not to be confused with + 8 each time that would make the sequence 9, 18, 27.

Question 7:

The way we solve this question is using the nth term rule, whatever is before the n is the times tables we follow. So if it is 2n the sequence would be 2, 4, 6, 8 etc. However when we add something like the -2 we do the 2 times tables but this time we -2 for each one. Example: 2 - 2 = 0 so the first number of the sequence is 0, Example 2: 4-2 = 2 so the second number of the sequence is 2.
