Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is called an arithmetic sequence if the difference between every two consecutive terms are same.

In sequence 1, 5, 8, 13, ...

d_1=a_2-a_1=5-1=4

d_2=a_3-a_2=8-5=3

Since d_1\neq d_2, therefore the sequence 1, 5, 8, 13, ... is not an arithmetic sequence.

In sequence 2, 4, 8, 32,...

d_1=a_2-a_1=4-2=2

d_2=a_3-a_2=8-4=4

Since d_1\neq d_2, therefore the sequence 2, 4, 8, 32,... is not an arithmetic sequence.

In sequence 25, 21, 17, 13, ...

d_1=a_2-a_1=21-25=-4

d_2=a_3-a_2=17-21=-4

d_3=a_4-a_3=13-17=-4

Since this sequence has common difference of -4 therefore the sequence 25, 21, 17, 13, ... is an arithmetic sequence.

In sequence 81, 27, 9, 3, ...

d_1=a_2-a_1=27-81=-54

d_2=a_3-a_2=9-27=-18

Since d_1\neq d_2, therefore the sequence 81, 27, 9, 3, ... is not an arithmetic sequence.

Hence the correct option is 3.

That would be    25,21,17,13...

this is arithmetic with a common difference of -4.

Can someone show me the steps for solving. I had help but I'm confused.
Gemiola [76]
If i'm not mistaking, the value of the missing angle should be 65 degrees and i got this by subtracting 70 and 45 from 180 (180 is the total value of angles in a triangle) and i got 45 by dividing the right angle into 2. So we have 180-45-70= 65.
I hope it helps

Need help step by step plz
yulyashka [42]

I'm assuming D is the center of the circle.  See the new figure.

Angle BDC = 106 degrees, that's the definition of arc measure.

Triangle BDC is isosceles (two radii make congruent sides) so the two remaining angles in BDC are equal, DBC=DCB=(180-106)/2=37 degrees.

Angle BAC = 106/2 = 53 degrees, subtending the arc of 106 degrees.

Angle CAD = 53/2 = 26.5 degrees because AD is a bisector, the shared hypotenuse of congruent right triangles AED and AFD.

AFD is also congruent to CFD, so angle DCA is also 26.5 degrees

Angle ACB is the sum of DCA and DCB, ACB = 26.5 + 37 = 63.5 degrees

The angle subtends the arc we seek, whose measure must be double:

10x - 23 = 2(63.5) = 127 degrees

10x = 150

x = 15

Answer: 15

The least common denominator of the rational numbers x^2-y^2/(x^2-8x+15) and y^2/15(x^2-6x+9) is
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

15(x - 5)(x - 3)²

Step-by-step explanation:

factor both denominators and see what you need to do to make them equal...

(x² - y²)/[(x - 5)(x - 3)]           y²/[15(x - 3)(x - 3)]

the first denominator has (x - 5)(x - 3)          

the second denominator has 15(x - 3)(x - 3),

the least common denominator between them would be

15(x - 5)(x -3)(x - 3)     or  15(x - 5)(x - 3)²

Which of these statements is not one of Euclid axioms
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. If equals be added to equals, the wholes are equal. If equals be subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal. Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another.
