What is the solution set to the equation? (x +5)(x+3)=0

x = -5, x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

(X +5)(X+3)=0

Set each part equal 0 and solve for x

x+5 = 0; x = -5

x+3 = 0; x = -3

the correct answer is the second option

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
