What is the common ratio in the following geometric sequence?

Hey there!


A common ratio is just that number that you multiply or divide to each number that gets you the next in a geometric sequence. In this sequence, we know the numbers are getting bigger and we're multiplying, so we want to know what you're multiplying by the first number to get to the second. We can call this unknown number x. SO if we start with the first number and set up an equation, we get:


3x = 12


Divide both sides by 3


x = 4


Therefore, your common ratio is 4.


To check, you can multiply all the next numbers by 4 to see that it all checks out.


Hope this helps!

Multiply: (4x – 7)(2x – 9)
harina [27]
Hello there!


Let's use foil.

First: 4x * 2x = 8x^2

Outside: 4x * -9 = -36x

Inside: -7 * 2x = -14x

Last: -7 * -9 = 63

Now, let's combine these.

8x^2 - 36x - 14x + 63

Finally, we can simplify this

8x - 50x + 63



I hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!

The distance travelled in (m) by a ball dropped from a height are 128/9,32/3,8,6,...
Allushta [10]

Answer: it will trave 56.89 meters before coming to rest.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric progression since the distance travelled (height) by the ball is reducing by a constant ratio, r. Since the number of times that the ball will bounce is infinite, then we would apply the formula for determining the sum of the terms in a geometric progression to infinity which is expressed as

S = a/(1 - r)

where

S = sum of the distance travelled by the ball

a = initial distance or height of the ball

r = common ratio

From the information given,

a = 128/9

r = (32/3)/(128/9) = 0.75

Therefore,

S = (128/9)/(1 - 0.75) = 56.89 meters

ILL GIVE BRAINLEST Determine whether the two angles in each figure are complementary, supplementary, or neither
Naily [24]
The first two angles are both complementary angles since they add up to 90*
I can’t see the last angle too well I think it’s a supplementary angle since it has a straight line meaning it should equal 180*
