Factorizie completely 2ap+aq-bq-2bp​

2ap + aq - bq -2bp = (a - b)(2p + q)

Step-by-step explanation:

(2ap + aq) - (bq -2bp)

a(2p +q) -b(q + 2p)    [ taking a common from the first, and b from the second]

(2p + q) [a - b]           [takin (2p + q)]

(2p + q)(a - b)

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week
