I'm assuming the sequence is: -320, 80, -20, 5

Divide each term by the previous term to get the common ratio r

r = (term 2)/(term 1) = 80/(-320) = -1/4
r = (term 3)/(term 2) = -20/80 = -1/4
r = (term 4)/(term 3) = 5/(-20) = -1/4

No matter which term you pick (as long as it's not the first one) dividing it by the previous term leads to -1/4 or -0.25 as the common ratio

Answer: -1/4

It seems like none of the answer choices have -1/4 but it could be choice A was supposed to show "-1/4" instead of "-14"? Perhaps the division sign didn't show up for some reason?

Brian is 2 years older than Malachy. Caroline is 8 years younger than Malachy. If the total of their ages is 66, how old is the
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The eldest of them is Brian and he is 24 + 2 = 26 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Malachy age = a

Brian age = a + 2

Caroline age = a - 8

Total of their age = a + (a + 2) + (a - 8)

66 = a + (a + 2) + (a - 8)

collect like terms

66 = a + a + 2 + a - 8

66 = a + a + a - 6

3a = 66 + 6

3a = 72

divide both sides by 3

a = 72/3

a = 24

Malachy age is 24 . Caroline is 24 - 8 = 16 years old.

The eldest of them is Brian and he is 24 + 2 = 26 years old.

(5,65) (7,71) slope
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is m=y2-y1/x2-x1

y2 is 71

y1 is 65

x2 is 7

x1 is 5

71-65 is 6

7-5 is 2

So the slope looks like this:

6/2

Simplify:

Which is 3

Hope this helps!

Hi, can someone help with these questions? Thanks in advance !!

5: 25 degrees
8: 48 degrees

Still working on the other ones

Explanation
- for 5 we know that the straight line has a measurement of 180 degrees so we just add 125 and 30 to get 155 and 155 plus 25 is 180 degrees

- For 8 we know that the measurements of AED are 89 degrees and we know two other angles are 29 and 12 which make 41 if you add them and we know that 41 + 48= 89 which is what we wanted to get to

Consider the function y = x2 − 18x. Enter the values for the variables to complete the inverse.
ollegr [7]
<span>In the function "y=x2-18x" the goal is to find the value of the letter x. We know that y equals x2-18x. First, recognize that x2 is the same thing as 2x. So changing the problem to "y=2x-18x". We can subtract 18x from 2x, which leaves us with -16x. Now the problem looks like this: y=-16x. In order to get x by itself, we will need to do the same thing to both sides of the equation. In this case, we want the answer to be x by itself, or (1x) which is the same thing. We divide both sides of the equation by (-16). We are left with the following: y/-16=x. Basically, in words, x equals y divided by negative 16.</span>
