Find two geometric means between 5 and 135

Answer:

We are effectively looking for a and b such that 5, a, b, 135 is a geometric sequence.

This sequence has common ratio <span><span>3<span>√<span>1355</span></span></span>=3</span>, hence <span>a=15</span> and <span>b=45</span>

Explanation:

In a geometric sequence, each intermediate term is the geometric mean of the term before it and the term after it.

So we want to find a and b such that 5, a, b, 135 is a geometric sequence.

If the common ratio is r then:

<span><span>a=5r</span><span>b=ar=5<span>r2</span></span><span>135=br=5<span>r3</span></span></span>

Hence <span><span>r3</span>=<span>1355</span>=27</span>, so <span>r=<span>3<span>√27</span></span>=3</span>

Then <span>a=5r=15</span> and <span>b=ar=15⋅3=45</span>

6.<br> What is the midpoint of the line segment whose<br> endpoints (7,-4) and (-3, -2)?<br> are
quester [9]

Answer: (2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the the answer, you will need to use the midpoint formula, which is as following:

(x₁+x₂/2, y₁+y₂/2)

Since we have two coordinates, let's substitute them into the equation.

(7 + (-3 )/ 2, (-4) + (-2)/2)

We should first add 7 and -3 together, as well as -4 and -2.

(4/2, -6/2)

We then divide 4 and -6 by 2. This would give us our midpoint coordinate.

(2, -3)
