Answer: r = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = 36

The 4th term is 32/3

n = 4

Therefore,

T4 = 32/3 = 36 × r^(4 - 1)

32/3 = 36 × r^3

Dividing both sides if the equation by 36, it becomes

32/3 × 1/36 = r^3

8/27 = r^3

Taking cube root of both sides of the equation, it becomes

(8/27)^1/3 = r^3 × 1/3

r = 2/3

Answer:

a=7,\\b=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is equal to A=l\cdot w, where l is the length of the rectangle and w is the width of the rectangle. In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal.

Therefore, we can write the following system of equations:

\begin{cases}a\cdot (9+b)=84,\\a\cdot b=21\end{cases}

Expand the first equation:

9a+ab=84

Substitute the second equation into the first (ab=21):

9a+21=84,\\9a=63,\\a=\boxed{7}

Solving for b:

7b=21,\\b=\frac{21}{7}=\boxed{3}

Answer: Option C)1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals 1 over 20

Explanation:

Since, Micah can fill a box with books in 15 minutes.

Therefore, the work done by Micah in one minute= 1/15

Also, Sydney takes the books out puts them on a shelf.

And the times taken by Micah when Sydney is also taking the books outside from the self= 20 minutes

Therefore, the work done by Micah in one minute when Sydney  taking books out of the box= 1/20

Let Sydney alone takes x minutes to take books outsides the shelf.

Then, work done by Sydney in one minute=1/x

Thus, the work done by Sydney( by taking books out of the box)=  the work done by Micah - work done by Micah and Sydney simultaneously= 1/15-1/20

⇒1/x=1/15-1/20

⇒1/15-1/20=1/x

⇒1/15-1/x=1/20 is the required expression.

Therefore, Option C is correct.

Answer:

D. y ≥ 2x – 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the inequality by finding the boundary line, then shading the appropriate area.

y ≥ 2 x + 2

Graph the inequality by finding the boundary line, then shading the appropriate area.

y ≥ − 2 x + 2

Graph the inequality by finding the boundary line, then shading the appropriate area.

y ≤ 2 x − 2

Graph the inequality by finding the boundary line, then shading the appropriate area.

y ≥ 2 x − 2

The base of a parallelogram is 18 inches longer than three times the height. The area of the parallelogram is 216 square inches.
nordsb [41]

Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the base

h represents the height

area of the parallelogram = base * height = 216 square inches

From the question'

b = 18 + 3h

Slot in the value of b

216 = (18 + 3h) * h

expand

216 = 18h + 3h^2

subtract 216 from both sides

0 = 18h + 3h^2 - 216

rearrange

3h^2 + 18h - 216 = 0

divide through by 3

h^2 + 6h - 72 = 0

Now, lets solve!

h^2 + 6h - 12h - 72 = 0

h( h + 6 ) - 12(h + 6) = 0

(h - 12) (h + 6) = 0

h - 12 = 0

h = 12

and

h + 6 = 0

h = - 6

Taking the positive value of h

Hence, the height is 12 inches

Lets check

when h = 12 inches

Area of the parallelogram = 18* 12 = 216 square inches     .... correct

when h = -6inches

A = 18 * -6 ≠  216 square inches

So height is 12 inches
