The value of the unknown variable x by virtue of the geometric sequence given in the task content is; -27.

<h3>What is a geometric sequence and what is the value of x in the sequence given?</h3>

It follows from the task content above that the variable given above is a member of the geometric sequence.

Hence, since it follows from convention that the geometric sequence in discuss has same common difference across each successive term and hence , we have;

3/x = (-1/3) ÷ 3

x = -27.

Therefore, the value of the unknown variable x by virtue of the geometric sequence given in the task content is; -27.

In quadrilateral $ABCD$, we have $AB=3,$ $BC=6,$ $CD=4,$ and $DA=4$.

vampirchik [111]

The triangle inequality applies.

In order for ACD to be a triangle, the length of AC must lie between CD-DA=0 and CD+DA=8.

In order for ABD to be a triangle, the length of AC must lie between BC-AB=3 and BC+AB=9.

The values common to both these restrictions are numbers between 3 and 8. Assuming we don't want the diagonal to be coincident with any sides, its integer length will be one of ...

Consider the following system of equations: 10 + y = 5x + x2 5x + y = 1 The first equation is an equation of a . The second equa

aleksley [76]

Answer: The first equation is an equation of a parabola. The second equation is an equation of a line.

Explanation:

The first equation is,

$10+y=5x+x^2$

In this equation the degree of y is 1 and the degree of x is 2. The degree of both variables are not same. Since the coefficients of y and higher degree of x is positive, therefore it is a graph of an upward parabola.

The second equation is,

$5x+y=1$

In this equation the degree of x is 1 and the degree of y is 1. The degree of both variables are same. Since both variables have same degree which is 1, therefore it is linear equation and it forms a line.

Therefore, the first equation is an equation of a parabola. The second equation is an equation of a line.

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the ref

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

P is exactly 3km east from the oil refinery.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's d be the distance in km from the oil refinery to point P. So the horizontal distance from P to the storage is 3 - d and the vertical distance is 2. Hence the diagonal distance is:

$\sqrt{(3 - d)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{(3 - d)^2 + 4}$
