If these are terms of a geometric sequence, they have a common ratio. That is, ...
... (k -1)/(2(1 -k)) = (k +8)/(k -1)
... (k -1)² = 2(1 -k)(k +8) . . . . . multiply by the product of the denominators.
... k² -2k +1 = -2k² -14k +16 . . . eliminate parentheses
... 3k² +12k -15 = 0 . . . . . . . . put in standard form (subtract the right side)
... 3(k +5)(k -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor
Possible values of k are ... -5, +1. The solution k=1 is extraneous, as it makes the first two terms 0 and the third term 8. (It doesn't work.)
The value of k is -5.
_____
The three terms are 12, -6, 3. The common ratio is -1/2.
Answer:
B.(3,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Point translated from A(1,2) to B(4,4).
This means that for x, we add 3 units(4 - 1 = 3), while for y, we add two units(4 - 2 = 2).
If a point C at (0,0) is translated in the same way, what will be its new endpoints?
0 + 3 = 3
0 + 2 = 2
So
B.(3,2)
