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

The table gives the scores of 6 students from a class of 25 in a competitive exam. the point estimate of the mean score for the
Ymorist [56]

The mean of the scores if 6 students in a competitive exam is 25 marks.

Given scores of 6 students are: 10,30,50,40,20 in a competitive exam.

We have to find out the mean of the mark of 6 students in a competitive exam.

Mean is the sum of all the values in a set of data, such as numbers, measurements, divided by the number of values. It is also known as average.

Mean=∑X/n

∑X=10+30+50+40+20

=150

N=6

Now to calculate the mean we have to divide 150 by number of students which is 6.

Mean=150/6

=25 marks.

Hence the mean of the scores of 6  students is 25 marks.

HELP ASAP ROCKY!!! will get branliest.​
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<h2><em><u>-4</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is y = slope + or - y-intercept

Slope = mx

So the slope is -4

The slope can be found also by having 2 points and doing (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). Also, you can do rise over run. These are options for if you have a graph.

Hope this helped,

Kavitha
