Answer:

okay

Step-by-step explanation:

for arithmetic \: progression \: there \: must \: be \: a \: common \: difference \\  \\ to \: get \: common \: difference \: {d} \:  \\ get \: the \: the \: term \: infront \: minus \: the \: term \: before \\ say \: d = 12 - ( - 4) = 16 \\ d =  - 36 - 12 =  - 48 \\ d = 108 - ( - 36) = 144 \\ since \: d \: isnt \: uniform \: this \: is \: not \: arithmetic \: progression \\  \\ for \: geometric \: progression \: there \: must \: be \: a \: common \: ratio \: {r} \\ r \: is \: got \: by \: dividing \: the \: term \: infront \: by \: the \: term \: behind \\  \\ say \: r = 12  \div ( - 4) =  - 3 \\ r = ( - 36) \div 12 =  - 3 \\ r = 108 \div ( - 36) =  - 3 \\ since \: r \: is \: the \: same \: this \: is \: a \: geometric \: serie

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

\textbf{Let's see if the sequence is Arithmetic or Geometric :}

\textsf{If the ratio between successive terms is } \textsf{equal then, the terms are in GP}

  • \sf{ \dfrac{12}{-4} = -3}

  • \sf{ \dfrac{-36}{12} = -3}

\textsf{Since the common ratio is same, } \textsf{we can infer that it's a geometric progression} \textsf{with common ratio of -3}

Which shows 0.00234 written in scientific notation?
topjm [15]
It’s D


the reason why is because the multiplier must be between 1 and 10
(
1
≤
x
≤
10
)
so first more your decimal there which you get:
2.34
then just count how many numbers the decimal jumped, if the decimal moved left the exponent is positive and if it moved right, as in your number, the exponent is negative

yours moved 3

Factor the expression completely I’ve the complex numbers X^4+10x^2+25
Elza [17]

We have

(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

so that with a = x² and b = 5, we have

x⁴ + 10x² + 25 = (x² + 5)²

Next, we have

a² - b² = (a - b) (a + b)

so that with a = x and b = √5 i,

x² + 5 = x² - (-5) = (x - √5 i) (x + √5 i)

So, the complete factorization over the complexes is

(x - √5 i)² (x + √5 i)²

PLSS HELP ASAP TYSM <33 SORRY I COULDN'T FIND SCIENCE LOLL ​
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Rock D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that the force that the catapult does is always the same.

So, here we need to remember Newton's second law:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

Where acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity.

So, if we want the rock to hit closer to the catapult, the rock must be less accelerated than rock B.

So, we can rewrite:

a = F/m

So, as larger is the mass of the rock, smaller will be the acceleration of the rock after it leaves the catapult (because the mass is in the denominator). So if we want to have a smaller acceleration, we need to choose a rock with a larger mass than rock B.

Assuming that the mass depends on the size, the only one that has a mass larger than rock B is rock D.

So we can assume that rock D is the correct option.
