What is the value of y in the sequence below? 2,y,18, -54,162,

snow_lady [41]

First, let's check if the sequence is geometric or arithmetric.

If arithmetric, the sequence will have common difference.

Arithmetric

$\displaystyle \large{a_{n + 1} - a_n = d}$

d stands for a common difference. Common Difference means that sequences must have same difference after subtracting.

Geometric

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{a_{n + 1}}{a_n} = r}$

r stands for a common ratio.

To find the value of y, you can check the sequence. If we try subtracting the sequences, the differences are different. That means the sequences are not arithmetric. That only leaves the geometric sequence.

Let's check by dividing sequences.

We have:

2,y,18,-54,162,...

Let's check by divide -54 by 18 and 162 by -54. We need to divide more than one so we can prove that the sequence is geometric.

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{ - 54}{18} = - 3 } \\ \displaystyle \large{ \frac{ 162}{ - 54} = - 3}$

Hence, the sequence is geometric.

Because the common ratio is -3. Let these be the following:

$\displaystyle \large{ a_{n + 1} = y } \\ \displaystyle \large{ a_n = 2 } \\ \displaystyle \large{ r = - 3 }$

From the:

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{a_{n + 1}}{a_n} = r}$

Substitute the values in.

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{y}{2} = - 3}$

Multiply the whole equation by 2 to isolate y.

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{y}{2} \times 2 = - 3 \times 2} \\ \displaystyle \large{ y = - 6}$

Therefore, the value of y is -6.

Answer:

4 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

8×21=168

168÷36(1 yard in inches)=4 with a remainder of 24

24/36 can both be divided by 12 so its now been reduced to 2/3

Find the values of x and y.

DENIUS [597]

X = 20 degrees
Y = 30
This is acute triangle so all the sides and angles are the same. Subtract 16 from 46 and you receive 30 for y. For the corresponding angle, subtract 80 from 180. Then add 60 to that and subtract that from 180 for x.

JulijaS [17]

I don't understand. What are the values given? Are they values of an x,y plot?
If you plot them they are a straight line with y =6x - 2.9 but I don't know what you mean by when x=3 and y = 4?
