A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32
I think what you are looking for is 5x=300 therefore x=60 so at 60cars he would start to make more.
-4 + 3 = 7
8=8
(7,0) = DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM
Answer:
because they allow us to make direct comparisons
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is HL. We know this because it is a right triangle (:
