Find x such that x - 4, x, and 3x - 8 are three consecutive terms in a geometric sequence

1 answer:

8 0

In a geometric sequence dividing any term by the term before it yields the common multiplier.
Then x/(x+8) = (3x-8)/x
Solving for x: reduces to x^2-10x +16 factor into (x-2)(x-8)
Then x = 2 or 8
2 produces a sequence of -2, 2, -2 ...
8 produces a sequence of 4, 8, 16 ...

In what position would you find the 'leading' runner in a race? In what position do you suppose you would find the 'leading coef

TEA [102]

Since the "leading" runner in a race would be found in the first position, because he or she is in the lead, it means they are first, then I suppose I would find the "leading coefficient" in the first place in a polynomial as well.
