Consider the sequence -2, 6, -18, 54,

Mathematics
1 answer:
hram777 [196]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The sequence is geometric

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common difference and this difference is linear.

Common difference = given term - the term before it

In geometric progression, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio this difference is exponential.

Common ratio = given term/the term before it

Looking at the given sequence,

1) d = 6 - - 2 is not equal to - 18 - 6

Therefore, it is not an arithmetic sequence

2) r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3

Therefore, it is a geometric sequence.

Zack, Jack and Sasha earned £250 altogether delivering leaflets.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Zack earned £125, Jack earned £75, and Sasha earned £50

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the number of leaflets delivered

Zack 50%, Jack 30% and Sasha 20%

Total delivered = 50 + 30 + 20 = 100%

If they earn £250 on the 100% delivery, then each will have as shown below

Zack = (50/100)*250

= 5*25

= £125

Jack = (30/100)*250

= 3*25

= £75

Sasha = (20/100)*250

=2*25

= £50

a big cruise ship dropped anchor off the Caribbean island of antigua. the heavy anchor dropped into the water at a rate of 2.5 m
AysviL [449]

Falling at the rate of 2.5 m/s for 45 seconds, the anchor fell

                                     (2.5 m/s) x (45 s)  =  112.5 meters .

If it wound up only 40 meters underwater, then it must have fallen

                                      (112.5 m  -  40 m)  =  72.5 meters

from its storage position on the big cruise ship, 
before it ever reached the water.

Since it was falling at the rate of  2.5 m/s, it took

                                     (72.5 m) / (2.5 m/s)  =  29 seconds

to get down to the water surface after it started dropping.
