If x is the first number in the progression, and r is the common ratio between consecutive terms, then the first four terms in the progression are

\{x,xr,xr^2,xr^3\}

We want to have

\begin{cases}xr^2-x=12\\xr^3-xr=36\end{cases}

In the second equation, we have

xr^3-xr=xr(r^2-1)=36

and in the first, we have

xr^2-x=x(r^2-1)=12

Substituting this into the second equation, we find

xr(r^2-1)=12r=36\implies r=3

So now we have

\begin{cases}9x-x=12\\27x-3x=36\end{cases}\implies x=\dfrac32

Then the four numbers are

\left\{\dfrac32,\dfrac92,\dfrac{27}2,\dfrac{81}2\right\}

What are the domain and range of the exponential function below? <br><br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%28x%29%20%3D%205%5
faust18 [17]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the set of x values for which the function is defined.

The range is the set of y values for which the function is defined.

Attached is the graph of the exponential function.

It is the basic graph of exponential function of y = 5^x which is shifted 6 units above (because of +6 at the end).

<em><u>Looking at the graph, the domain is the set of all x values.</u></em>

<em><u>The range is anything above 6.</u></em>

Correct answer is B.
