Answer:

a<-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you have to isolate a. This means you will have to add 5 to both sides. This will make the equation -2a>8. Divide both sides by 2 to get -a>4. Divide each side by -1 to get a>-4. Because you have to flip the sign when you divide by a negative number, you have to change it into a<-4.

The expression n2 + n represents the total number of blocks used in the nth figure of a pattern. Use the equation n2 + n = 56 to

Brrunno [24]

We have to solve this quadratic equation $n^{2}+n=56$ for n to get <em>which figure has 56 blocks</em>.

$n^{2}+n=56\\n^{2}+n-56=0$

For middle term factorization, we need <em>two numbers that multiplied gives us -56 and added gives us 1 (coefficient of n).</em>

<em>Such two numbers are </em><em>8</em><em> and </em><em>-7</em><em>. We can now write,</em>

<em> $n^{2}+n-56=0\\(n+8)(n-7)=0\\n=-8, 7$ </em>

<u><em>"There is no negative figure number possible, so we disregard -8"</em></u>

Our answer is 7.

ANSWER: The 7th figure has 56 blocks.

If Log x (1 / 8) = - 3 / 2, then x is equal to.<br><br> A. - 4<br> B. 4<br> C. 1 / 4<br> D: 0

Softa [21]

$log_{x}(1/8)=-3/2$

This is equal to...

$x^{-3/2}=1/8$

We want "x" so we need to isolate it using laws of exponents...

$x^{(-1)(3/2)}=1/8$

$x^{3/2}=8$ because $x^{-a}=1/x^{a}$

$x=\sqrt[3]{8^{2}}$ because $x^{a/b}=\sqrt[b]{x^{a}}$

x = 4

answer: B
