Answer:
(negative 7 x + 4)(negative 7 x minus 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider two real numbers a and b. A difference of squares involving a and b is usually given as;
The difference of the two squares above can be factored to yield;
This implies that in order to have the difference of squares we must have a product involving the difference and the sum of the numbers.
The expression;
(negative 7 x + 4)(negative 7 x minus 4) can also be written as ( 4 - 7x) ( -4 - 7x)
( 4 - 7x) ( -4 - 7x) = ( 4 - 7x) (-1( 4 + 7x)) = -1 *( 4 - 7x) ( 4 + 7x)
Expanding the last expression yields;
-1 (16 + 28x -28x - 49x^2) = -1 (16 - 49x^2) = 49x^2 - 16 which is in deed a difference of squares
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given the common ratio (3/2), all we need to find to define the geometric sequence, is its multiplicative factor () that corresponds to the first term of the sequence - remember that all consecutive terms will be generated by multiplying this first value repeatedly by the common ratio (3/2) as shown below:
Since we are given the information that we can use this to find the value of the first term:
Notice as well that the first term doesn't contain the common ratio, the second term contains the common ration (3/2) to the power one, the third one contains the common ratio to the power two, the fourth one contains it to the power three, and so forth. So the exponent at which the common ratio appears is always one unit less than the order (x) of the term in question. This concept helps us finalize the expression for the sequence's formula:
