Answer:
oops didnt mean to click answer again
Step-by-step explanation:
so it asked me go through the verification and yk how it be hella irriuitating kuz all im tryna do is
We have an arithmetic progression:
Nth=an
an=a₁+(n-1)d
a₁ is the first term.
n=number of terms.
d=common difference
10,17,24,31...
a₁=10
d=a₂-a₁=17-10=7
Therefore:
Nth=an
an=a₁+(n-1)d
an=10+(n-1)7
an=10+7n-7
an=7n+3.
Therefore: the formula for the nth is, an=a+(n-1), in this case; an=7n+3,
To check:
a₁=7*1+3=10
a₂=7*2+3=17
a₃=7*3+3=24
a₄=7*4+3=31
a₅=7*5+3=38.......
If there are real roots to be found for this polynomial, the Rational Root Theorem and synthetic division are the best way to find them. I teach from a book that uses c and d for the possible roots of the polynomial. C is our constant, 2, and d is the leading coefficient, 1. The factors of 2 are +/- 1 and +/-2. The factors for 1 are +/-1 only. Meaning, in all, there are 4 possibilities as roots for this polynomial. But there are only 3 total (because our polynomial is a third degree), so we have to find the first one, at least, from our possibilities above. Let's try x = -1, factor form (x + 1). If there is no remainder when we do the synthetic division, then -1 is a root. Put -1 outside the "box" and the coefficients from the polynomial inside: -1 (1 2 -1 -2). Bring down the first coefficient of 1 and multiply it by the -1 outside to get -1. Put that -1 up under the 2 and add to get 1. Multiply 1 times the -1 to get -1 and put that -1 up under the -1 and add to get -2. -1 times -2 is 2, and -2 + 2 = 0. So we have our first root of (x+1). The numbers we get when we do the addition along the way are the coefficients of our new polynomial, the depressed polynomial (NOT a sad one cuz it hates math, but a new polynomial that is one degree less than that of which we started!). The new polynomial is

. That can also be factored to find the remaining 2 roots. Use standard factoring to find that the other 2 solutions are (x+2) and (x-1). Our solutions then are x = -2, -1, 1, choice B from above.
Answer:
Student A and Student B both answered 2 questions correctly.
See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: that answers in the form:

ARE ALL EQUIVALENT.
First of all, 4/5 is equivalent to 0.8 if we do long division.
and 19/20 is 0.95 if we do long division.
Now, <u>Student A:</u>
Both of the fractions are correct and the negative sign is equivalent and makes the answer correct, so both are correct.
For <u>Student B:</u>
Similarly, both answers are correct for this student as well, looking at the equivalence we showed first.
Also, "-" (negative) in front of the parenthesis and inside parenthesis here doesn't matter.
Hence,
Student A and Student B both answered 2 questions correctly.
