$l-larger\\s-smaller\\\\\dfrac{h_l}{h_s}=\dfrac{3}{2}\to\dfrac{V_l}{V_s}=\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^3\\\\V_l=135\ cm^3.\\subtitute\\\\\dfrac{135}{V_s}=\dfrac{27}{8}\ \ \ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\27V_s=135\cdot8\\\\27V_s=1080\ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 27\\\\\boxed{V_s=40\ (cm^3)}$

What is the recursive formula for this geometric sequence<br><br>4,-12,36,-108...

Natalka [10]

$a_{n+1}$ = - 3 $a_{n}$ with $a_{1}$ = 4

To find the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by - 3

the common ratio r = $\frac{-108}{36}$ = $\frac{36}{-12}$ = - 3

$a_{n+1}$ = $a_{n}$ × r ← recursive formula

What two numbers multiply to negative 8 but add to negative 7

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Let "a" and "b" be the two numbers
So a*b=-8 and a+b=-7
Therefore S=-7 and P=-8
Using (x^2)-S+P=0 => (x^2)-(-7)+(-8)=0 => (x^2)+7-8=0
By factorizing we get (x+8)(x-1)=0
So a can be either -8 or 1 and b can be 1 or -8
Meaning that the two numbers are -8 and 1.
