Rewrite x2 − 8x + 13 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers, to determine the a and b values. A: a = 4 and b = 3 B: a = 3 and b = 2 C: a = 2 and b = 1 D: a = 1 and b = 4

After solving this question correct answer is (A)

51

step-by-step explanation:

73-22=51 the   mass number minus the amount of protons gives you the amount of neutrons

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
