A(n) = current term

a(n + 1) = next term

in a geometric sequence, the next term comes from a product of the current term and the common ratio.

the common ratio can be any value, let's say use r = ½.

if the current term is say hmmm 40, the next term is 40*½ , or 20, so indeed, the next term is smaller.

True.  If the common ratio r is between 0 and 1 (for example), then each successive term will be smaller than the preceding term.

fredd [130]

Answer:

f(x) = -3(x+3)(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -3 & 1; f(x) = 9

f(x) = a(x-r1)(x-r2)

f(0) = a(x-r1)(x-r2) = 9; 9 = a(0-(-3))(0-1)

9 = a(3)(-1); 9 = a(-3)

a = -3

f(x) = -3(x+3)(x-1)

What is the area cause I am having a hard trouble
fomenos
The figure consists of a triangle and two rectangles.

-----------------------------
Top Triangle:
-----------------------------
Height = 22 - 10 - 7 = 5cm
Base = 20 - 5 - 5 - 10cm
Area of triangle = 1/2 x 5 x 10 = 25 cm²

-----------------------------
Middle Rectangle:
-----------------------------
Length = 10cm
Width = 7cm
Area = 10 x 7 = 70 cm²

-----------------------------
Bottom Rectangle:
-----------------------------
Length = 20 cm
Width = 10 cm
Area = 20 x 10 = 200 cm²

-----------------------------
Total Area:
-----------------------------
Area = 25 + 70 + 200 = 295 cm²

-----------------------------
Answer: Area = 295 cm²
