If these are terms of a geometric sequence, they have a common ratio. That is, ...
... (k -1)/(2(1 -k)) = (k +8)/(k -1)
... (k -1)² = 2(1 -k)(k +8) . . . . . multiply by the product of the denominators.
... k² -2k +1 = -2k² -14k +16 . . . eliminate parentheses
... 3k² +12k -15 = 0 . . . . . . . . put in standard form (subtract the right side)
... 3(k +5)(k -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor
Possible values of k are ... -5, +1. The solution k=1 is extraneous, as it makes the first two terms 0 and the third term 8. (It doesn't work.)
The value of k is -5.
_____
The three terms are 12, -6, 3. The common ratio is -1/2.
Answer:
Pentagon G'P'E'S'T' is smaller than pentagon pentagon GPEST because the scale factor is less than 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sorry im late homie
That's what it will look like
No.
Inside a circle, where the lines are drawn inside a 300 degrees angle will correspond with a 60 degrees angle, but the shaded parts are different. However, there is technically no such thing as a negative angle, so your answer is No.
hope this helps
