(2003 AIME) In an increasing sequence of four positive integers, the first three terms form an arithmetic progression, the last three terms form a geometric progression, and the first and fourth terms differ by 30. Find the sum of the four terms.

6, 10

9, -13

12, -21

18, -23

step-by-step explanation:

you just add 6 to the x-coordinate and subtract 10 from the y-coordinate.

you divide them and then you get the answer i took this class this year

step-by-step explanation:

6^2 or 36

step-by-step explanation:

6000n

6×1000n

6×10^3 n

so we need 6n need to be a perfect cube

so n has to be 6^2 so that 6n is 6^3

what i'm saying is if you let n be 6^2 you have 6^3×10^3 or 60^3 which is a perfect cube
