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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nitella [24]3 years ago
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 ...

Which of the following equations is written in standard form?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Standard Form is ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are not fractions and a is not negative.

So, you can go through each of your options to see which ones work with those rules. 

A. 2.5x + 3y = 12   No, this is not in Standard Form. 2.5 can be rewritten as 2<span>\frac{1}{2}, menaing A is a fraction, which you can't have.

B. -10x - 3y = 1   No, this is not in Standard Form. A is -10, but A can't be negative.

C. 2x + 3y = 12   Yes, this is in Standard Form. It follows all of the rules.

D. 5x + 5y = 10   Yes, this is in Standard Form. It follows all of the rules.

So, C and D are both written in Standard Form.
