Find 3 numbers in GP whose sum is 28 and product is 512​

Let the three numbers be a,ar, ar^2 ,

where r is the common ratio.

⇒a+ar+ar^2 =28 and a^3 r^3 =512

⇒ar=8⇒a+ar^2 =20

⇒8r^2 −20r+8=0

⇒r=2,r= 1/2

If r=2,a=4

Therefore, the three numbers are 4,8,16.

Hope it is helpful

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
