If the first term in an arithmetic sequence is –3 and the tenth term is 15, what is the common difference?

Given that the First term of the Arithmetic sequence = -3

⇒ a = -3

We know that nth term of a Arithmetic sequence is : Tn = a + (n - 1)d

where a is the first term and d is the common difference

Given that 10th term is 15

⇒ T₁₀ = -3 + (10 - 1)d

⇒ -3 + (10 - 1)d = 15

⇒ 9d = 18

⇒ d = 2

⇒ Common difference of given Arithmetic Sequence is 2

the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996

step-by-step explanation:

in synthetic division, use -6 as the divisor and use the coefficients {4, -3, 5, 6}:

-6     )   4     -3     5     6

                -24   162 -1002

          4   -27   167   -996

thus, the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996.

note:   your "4x°-3x+5x+6" is ambiguous / incomplete.   i had to assume that you meant '4x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 6."
