The rule is n/(-2)

<h3>What is geometric Progression?</h3>

A geometric progression is a sequence in which any element after the first is obtained by multiplying the preceding element by a constant called the common ratio which is denoted by r.

Given:

64, -32,16,-8

r= 64/-32

r= -2

again, r= -32/16

r= -2

By above we concluded that the common ratio is is -2.

If n is natural numbers for finding geometric progression the rule which defines it n/(-2).

If you put 1/5, 2/3, and 5/8 from least to greatest what are they in order

Volgvan

It would be 1/5, 5/8, 2/3 because 1/5 is 24/120, 2/3 is 80/125, and 5/8 is 75/120

A 10-foot ladder is leaning against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder is being pulled away from the wall at the rate

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

The area is changing at 15.75 square feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle between the wall, the ground, and the ladder has the following dimensions:

H: is the length of the ladder (hypotenuse) = 10 ft

B: is the distance between the wall and the ladder (base) = 6 ft

L: the length of the wall (height of the triangle) =?

dB/dt = is the variation of the base of the triangle = 9 ft/s

First, we need to find the other side of the triangle:

$H^{2} = B^{2} + L^{2}$

$L = \sqrt{H^{2} - B^{2}} = \sqrt{(10)^{2} - B^{2}} = \sqrt{100 - B^{2}}$

Now, the area (A) of the triangle is:

$A = \frac{BL}{2}$

Hence, the rate of change of the area is given by:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}[L*\frac{dB}{dt} + B\frac{dL}{dt}]$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}[\sqrt{100 - B^{2}}*\frac{dB}{dt} + B\frac{d(\sqrt{100 - B^{2}})}{dt}]$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}[\sqrt{100 - B^{2}}*\frac{dB}{dt} - \frac{B^{2}}{(\sqrt{100 - B^{2}})}*\frac{dB}{dt}]$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}[\sqrt{100 - 6^{2}}*9 - \frac{6^{2}}{\sqrt{100 - 6^{2}}}*9]$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = 15.75 ft^{2}/s$

Therefore, the area is changing at 15.75 square feet per second.

I hope it helps you!
