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\}

<span>This tells us two things. Our slope is 3 and our y intercept is -4. 
This tells us that we need to start at (0,-4). 
Plot that point. 
Since our slope is 3 (3/1), move up 3 and right 1. 

This you will end up at point (1,-1). 
Connect these two points in a straight line, and you have graphed your line.
It will look like this</span>

Triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle inscribed in a circle. The center of the circle is point D and the diameter of the c
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

* AD is congruent to DC and BD <em>true</em>

* m∠B = 90° <em>true</em>

<u>* The measure of arc AC is equal to the measure of arc AB </u><u><em>not be true</em></u><em> ( The right answer  )</em>

* The measure of arc AB is equal to measure of arc BC <em>true</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ D is the center of the circle and A , B and C are points on the circle

∴ AD , DB and DC are radii on the circle D

∴ AD ≡ DC ≡ DB

∵ AC passing through point D which is the center of the circle

∴ AC is the diameter of the circle D

∵ ∠B is opposite to the diameter of the circle and vertex B lies on the circle

∵ ∠B is an inscribed angle and  ∠ADC  is a central angle subtended by the same arc AC

∴m∠B = half m∠ADC

∵ m∠ADC = 180°

∴ m∠B = 90°

∵ The measure of arc AC = 180°

∵ ΔABC is isosceles and m∠B = 90°

∴ m∠BAC = m∠BCA = (180° - 90°) ÷ 2 = 45°

∵ ∠ACB is an inscribed angle subtended by arc AB

∴ m∠ACB = half measure of arc AB

∵ The measure of arc AB = 45° × 2 = 90°

∴ The measure of arc AC ≠ the measure of arc AB

∵ Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle and m∠B = 90°

∴ AB = BC

∵ AB subtended by arc AB

∵ BC subtended by arc BC

∴ The length of arc AB = the length of arc BC

∵ If two arcs are equal in length, then they will be equal in measure

∴ The measure of arc AB is equal to the measure of arc BC
