Given the recursive formula for a geometric sequence find the common ratio, the first four terms, and the explicit formula.

1 answer:

4 0

Since a(n)=-3(a(n-1)) the common ratio is -3, and a(1)=-3 so

a(n)=-3(-3^(n-1)) so the first four terms are:

-3, 9, -27, 81

Follow the process of completing the square to solve 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0. After adding B2 to both sides of the equation in step 4,

valentina_108 [34]

2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0
4 + 8x - 12 = 0
8x = 12 - 4
8x = 8
x = 1

Which statement describes whether a right triangle can be formed using one side length from each of these squares?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the given squares are

Area = 64 in

Area = 225 in

Area = 289 in

The length of each side of a square is determined by finding the square root of its area. For the first square, the length of its side is √64 = 8inches. For the second square, the length of its side is √225 = 15inches. For the third square, the length of its side is √289 = 17inches.

For a right angle triangle to be formed, Pythagorean theorem must be obeyed. Sum of the square of the smaller sides must equal the square of the longer side. Therefore,

8² + 15² = 17²

289 = 289

Therefore, the correct statement is

Yes, a right triangle can be formed because the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares equals the area of the largest square
