Given:
The geometric sequence is:
1 -4
2 20
3 -100
To find:
The explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.
Solution:
The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:
...(i)
Where, a is the first term, r is the common ratio and .
In the given sequence the first term is -4 and the second term is 20, so the common ratio is:
Putting in (i), we get
where
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Complete Question:
Triangle abc has the angle mesausres shown.
m<A = (2x)°
m<B = (5x)°
m<C = (11x)°
Which statement is true about the angles?
A. m<A = 20°
B. m<B = 60°
C. m<A and m<B are complementary
D. m<A + m<C = 120°
Answer:
A. m<A = 20°
Step-by-step explanation:
m<A + m<B + m<C = 180° (sum of interior angles of a triangle)
(substitution)
Solve for x. Add like terms.
Divide both sides by 18
Find the measure of each angle by substituting x = 10:
m<A = (2x)° = 2(10) = 20°
m<B = (5x)° = 5(10) = 50°
m<C = (11x)° = 11(10) = 110°
Therefore, the only true statement is:
A. m<A = 20°
Combine y and 3y to get 4y.
Add 0 and 24 to get 24.
Divide both sides by 4.
Divide 24 by 4 to get 6.
