Answer:

The common ratio is r=\pm\frac{1}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The second term in a geometric sequence is 12. The fourth term in the same sequence is 4/3.

To find : What is the common ratio in this sequence?

Solution :

The nth term of G.P is a_n=ar^{n-1}

The second term in a geometric sequence is 12.

i.e. a_2=ar^{2-1}

12=ar .....(1)

The four term in a geometric sequence is \frac{4}{3}.

i.e. a_4=ar^{4-1}

\frac{4}{3}=ar^3 .....(2)

Divide (1) and (2),

\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{12}=\frac{ar^3}{ar}

\frac{1}{9}=r^2

\sqrt{\frac{1}{9}}=r

\pm\frac{1}{3}=r

Therefore, the common ratio is r=\pm\frac{1}{3}.

What is the result of adding these two equations? 6 x + 2 y = − 2 3 x − 2 y = − 5 6x+2y 3x−2y ​ =−2 =−5 ​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The result gives the equation: 9x = -7

solution:  (-7/9, 4/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

6 x + 2y = − 2

and

3 x − 2y = − 5

add together

6x + 3x + 2y - 2y = -2 + -5

9x + 0 = -7

9x = -7

then x = -7/9

and y = -3x - 1:

y = -3*(-7/9) - 1

y = 7/3 - 1 =  4/3

solution:  (-7/9, 4/3)

-----------------------------------------

6x+2y= -2   and 3x−2y ​ =−5 ​

6x + 3x  + 2y - 2y = -2 + -5
