Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a look at what happens when squaring either of these...

Notice a couple of patterns.
1. The last term has a positive coefficient. That rules out answer choices C and D.
2. The coefficient of the middle term is either
. So what are <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>? <em>a</em> is the square root of the x^2 term and <em>b</em> is the square root of the y^2 term.

The middle coefficient needs to be either +30 or -30. The answer is choice A.
Step-by-step explanation:
the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).
I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.
there is no factor r that creates
15×r = 9
and
9×r = 5/27
it would mean that
15 × r² = 5/27
r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81
r = 1/9
but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9
and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27
so, this can't be right.
on the other hand
15 × r = 9
r = 9/15 = 3/5
and then
9 × 3/5 = 27/5
so, either the sequence should have been
15, 5/3, 5/27
or (and I suspect this to be true)
15, 9, 27/5
under that assumption we have
s1 = 15
r = 3/5
sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)
s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =
= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =
= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151

Answer:3
Step-by-step explanation:
3.9 and 5.3, when rounded off and mult. together, produce the product 20.
Thus, the decimal point must follow the first two digits of your answer, whether estimate or "exact."
3.9*5.3 = 20.67 by calculator.
