Answer:

To determine the common ratio of a geometric sequence. You just need to divide any two consecutive terms on it. You can see below that all of them have the same quotient.

1.2 / 1.5 = 0.8

0.96 / 1.2 = 0.8

0.768 / 0.96 = 0.8

Decimal form = 0.8

Fraction form = 4/5

Check:

1.5 x 0.8 = 1.2

1.5 x 4/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5 = 1.2

Therefore, the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence? 1.5, 1.2, 0.96, 0.768 is 0.8 or 4/5.

What is the graph of y=-(x-2)^3-5

natulia [17]

When x=0,
y=-(0-2)^3-5
y=3

When y=0,
(x-2)^3=5
x-2= +/- 5^1/3
x= +/- 5^1/3 +2
x= 3.70997 or x=0.29002

To find the turning point at y, substitute the information that you have found above.

y=-(3.70997-2)^3-5
y=-9.99994

Find the mid-point next as mid-point is also the turning point.

(3.70997+0.29002)÷2=1.999995

Hence, Turning point is (1.999995, 9.99994)

Plot a graph using turning point, y value and the 2-x values.

Question Progress

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Please check the attached figure!

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Point A is located at the x-coordinate x=-4 and y-coordinate y=1.

Hence, the coordinates of point A = (-4, 1)

Part b)

Point B(3, -2) has been plotted and is shown in the attached figure.

It is clear from the attached diagram that point B is located at the x-coordinate x=3 and y-coordinate y=-2. Hence, the coordinates of point B = (3, -2)

Part C)

Point C has the same x-coordinate as point A i.e. x=-4 and the same y-coordinate as point B i.e. y=-2.

Hence, the coordinates of point C = (-4, -2). Point C is also plotted as shown in the diagram.
