The value of d is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence is u_{n}=u_{1}+(n-1)d , where

  • u_{1} is the first term
  • d is the common difference between each 2 consecutive terms

The nth term of the geometric sequence is u_{n}=u_{1}r^{n-1} , where

  • u_{1} is the first term
  • r is the common ratio between each two consecutive terms r=\frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}}=\frac{u_{3}}{u_{2}}

∵ u_{1} of an arithmetic sequence is 1

∵ The common difference is d, where d ≠ 0

∵ u_{2} , u_{3} , u_{6} are the first 3 terms of a geometric sequence

∵ u_{2} = 1 + (2 - 1)d

∴ u_{2} = 1 + d

∵ u_{3} = 1 + (3 - 1)d

∴ u_{2} = 1 + 2d

∵ u_{6} = 1 + (6 - 1)d

∴ u_{2} = 1 + 5d

∴ The first 3 terms of the geometric sequence are (1 + d) , (1 + 2d) ,

   (1 + 5d)

∵ The common ratio in the geometric sequence is r=\frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}}=\frac{u_{3}}{u_{2}}

∴ r=\frac{1+2d}{1+d}=\frac{1+5d}{1+2d}

- Use cross multiplication with the equal fractions

∵ \frac{1+2d}{1+d}=\frac{1+5d}{1+2d}

∴ (1 + 2d)(1 + 2d) = (1 + d)(1 + 5d)

∴ 1 + 2d + 2d + 4d² = 1 + 5d + d + 5d²

- Add like terms in each side

∴ 1 + 4d + 4d² = 1 + 6d + 5d²

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ 4d + 4d² = 6d + 5d²

- Subtract 4d from both sides

∴ 4d² = 2d + 5d²

- Subtract 4d² from each side

∴ 0 = 2d + d²

- Take d as a common factor

∴ 0 = d(2 + d)

- Equate each factor by 0

∴ d = 0 but we will reject it because d ≠ 0

∴ 2 + d = 0

- Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ d = -2

The value of d is -2

Answer:

The last choice. The red one

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm just guessing at this point. But, by the looks of it, red does seem like it would be correct. Again, this is just a guess. So, if it's wrong I'm so sorry. Have a lovely day.

Answer:

Yes it is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to check the ordered pairs to find out if given relation is a function or not.

In an ordered pair, the first element represents the input and the second element represents the output.

The set of inputs is domain and output is range.

For a relation to be function, there should be no repetition in domain i.e there should be unique pairs of input and output.

In the given relation, the domain is {3,5,-1,-2}.

No element is repeated hence it is a function ..

Given the data set (200, 150, 325, 350, 100, 75), Find the range of the data set
andriy [413]
The range is just the distance between the biggest number
and the smallest one.

The biggest number on that list is  350 .
The smallest number on that list is  75 .

The range is from  75 to 350, or a distance of  275 .
