The length of the AC is x^2  + 4x  - 12.

<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>

That quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram.

Thus, a parallelogram is always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral can or cannot be a parallelogram.

Given :

In Parallelogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

such that

AE = x^2 - 12,

CE = 4x

We know that the diagonal of a parallelogram bisect each other.

x^2 - 12 = 4x

x^2  - 4x  - 12= 0

(x-6)(x-2) = 0

Hence, the value of x = 6, 2.

AC = AE + CE = x^2  + 4x  - 12.

The length of the AC is x^2  + 4x  - 12.

Which formula can be used to find the nth term of a geometric sequence where the fifth term is 1/16 and the common ratio is 1/4
stepladder [879]
A₅ = 1/16  and r= 1/4

Let see how to build up this formula that is going to give that term of rank n

1st term =a₁ = To be calculated

1st a₁   = a₁  x  r°
2nd a₂  = a₁  x  r¹
3rd a₃  =  a₁  x  r²
4th a₄   = a₁  x  r³
5th a₅   = a₁  x  r⁴
.......................
.......................
nth : a(n) = a₁  x r⁽ⁿ-¹)
Note when that the subscript of a is the same as the exponent mines 1

We know the ratio r =1/4 & the fifth term, a₅ =1/16 (given). Now let's apply the formula to calculate the unknown a₁.

a(n) = a₁  x r⁽ⁿ-¹) ==>a₅ = a₁ x (1/4)⁽⁵⁺¹⁾ ===> 1/16 = a₁ x (1/4)⁴
1/167 = a₁ (1/256) ==> a₁ =16 & the formula becomes
a₅ = 16(1/4)⁴

-6/7,-3/7,0,3/7 .... create a formula that explains the arithmetic sequence
LenKa [72]

The formula that explain the arithmetic sequence is a_{n}=\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{9}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the nth term in an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n}=a+(n-1)d , where

  • a is the first term
  • d is the common difference between the consecutive terms

∵ \frac{-6}{7} , \frac{-3}{7} , 0 , \frac{3}{7} are some terms of an arithmetic sequence

∵ The difference between two consecutive terms = \frac{-3}{7} - \frac{-6}{7}

∴ The difference between two consecutive terms = \frac{-3}{7} + \frac{6}{7} = \frac{3}{7}

∴ The common difference = \frac{3}{7}

∴ d = \frac{3}{7}

∵ The first term is \frac{-6}{7}

∴ a = \frac{-6}{7}

- Substitute a and d in the formula above

∴ a_{n}=\frac{-6}{7}+(n-1)\frac{3}{7}

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ a_{n}=\frac{-6}{7}+\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{3}{7}

- Add like terms

∴ a_{n}=\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{9}{7}

The formula that explain the arithmetic sequence is a_{n}=\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{9}{7}
