Which sentence is NOT a geometric progression?

<u>c) 3, 6, 9 12</u>  is NOT a geometric progression

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Geometry sequences are series of numbers that have a constant ratio

or can be interpreted:

Each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by a constant

The sequence can be:

a, ar, ar², ar³, ... etc.

Can be formulated

\large {\boxed {\bold x_n = ar ^ {n-1}}}

where:

a is the first term, and

r is the common ratio

So we have to see the series has the same ratio or not

a. \dfrac{5}{1}=\dfrac{25}{5}=5\to \rm geometric\:progression

b. \dfrac{8}{4}=\dfrac{16}{8}=2\to \rm geometric\:progression

c.\dfrac{6}{3}\neq \dfrac{9}{6}\to \rm not\:geometric\:progression

d. \dfrac{6}{2}=\dfrac{18}{6}=3\to \rm geometric\:progression

Answer:

The correct option is c.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric progression has common ratio. It means the ratio between any two constitutive terms are same.

(a)

The given sequence is

1, 5, 25, 125

r_1=\frac{5}{1}=5

r_2=\frac{25}{5}=5

r_3=\frac{125}{25}=5

It is a geometric progression because it has a common ratio, i.e., 5.

(b)

The given sequence is

4, 8, 16, 32

r_1=\frac{8}{4}=2

r_2=\frac{16}{8}=2

r_3=\frac{32}{16}=2

It is a geometric progression because it has a common ratio, i.e., 2.

(c)

The given sequence is

3, 6, 9 12

r_1=\frac{6}{3}=2

r_2=\frac{9}{3}=\frac{3}{2}

r_3=\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}

r_1\neq r_2\neq r_3

It is not a geometric progression. Therefore the correct option is c.

(d)

The given sequence is

2, 6, 18, 54

r_1=\frac{6}{2}=3

r_2=\frac{18}{6}=3

r_3=\frac{54}{18}=3

It is a geometric progression because it has a common ratio, i.e., 3.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

1. T =34

2.143 =exterior A

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

T+H+E =180

T + 107+39 = 180

Combine like terms

T +146 = 180

Subtract 146 from each side

T +146-146 = 180-146

T =34

The exterior angle is the sum of the opposite interior angles in a triangle.

B+T =exterior A

66 +77 = exterior A

143 =exterior A

Answer:x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 4 to both sides and get 3x=5+4

Simplify 5+4 to 9 and get 3x=9

Divide both sides by 3 and get x=9/3

Simplify 9/3 to 3 and get the answer x=3
