How can you use the distributive property to rewrite a quadratic expression in order to reveal its factors and zeros

(x-rooot1)(x-root2)

Step-by-step explanation:

a quadratic ax²+bx+c=0 can be factor as those 2 pharanthesis

(x-rooot1) (x-root2)=0

and you can find the roots by making each parenthesis equal to 0 because of the zero product rule

x-root1 = 0, x=root1

x-root2 =0, x=root2

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
