I’m this geometric sequence, what is the common ratio

1 answer:

4 0

ANSWER:

D. - 1 / 2

This is as 104 ÷ - 52 = - 1 / 2

As well as this, - 52 ÷ 26 = - 1 / 2

And this ratio applies for the other numbers in the sequence as well.

Therefore, the answer must be - 1 / 2.

the ratio of pennies to quarters in a piggy bank is 14:3. if there are 51 quarters in the bank, how many pennies are there.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The number of pennies in the bank is 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Given that ratio of pennies to quarters in a piggy bank is 14 : 3

Let 14x be the number of pennies in a piggy bank

Let 3x be the number of quarters in the piggy bank

To find: number of pennies

Given that there are 51 quarters

number of pennies in piggy bank + number of quarters in piggy bank = 51

14x + 3x = 51

17x = 51

x = 3

number of pennies = 14x = 14(3) = 42

Thus the number of pennies in the bank is 42

What is the correct standard form of the equation of the parabola? Enter your answer below. Be sure to show each step of your wo

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

eq. of directrix is y=4 or y-4=0

perpendicular distance of (x,y) from directrix =distance of (x,y) from focus (-3,2)

$| \frac{y-4}{1}|=\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2} \\squaring~both~sides\\y^2-8y+16=(x+3)^2+(y-2)2\\(x+3)^2=y^2-8y+16-(y-2)^2\\(x+3)^2=y^2-8y+16-(y^2-4y+4)\\(x+3)^2=y^2-8y+16-y^2+4y-4\\(x+3)^2=-4y+12\\(x+3)^2=-4(y-3)$

Describe how you would tell that two lines are parallel or coincide by looking at the equations of the lines in standard form.

Talja [164]

We can determine from their equations whether two lines are parallel by comparing their slopes. If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel.

Unlike parallel lines, perpendicular lines do intersect. Their intersection forms a right, or 90-degree, angle.
