A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32
Answer:
.0075 (hope this help; let me know if not)
Step-by-step explanation:
The operation is + and the signs of the numbers are opposite so we have to subtract. The bigger number has positive sign in front if so we do 1.2-1.125=1.200-1.125
I'm going to line up
1.200
-1.125
---------
If you have 200 and you take about 125... 75 should beleft
so
1.200
-1.125
---------
0.075
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that,

Where,
X = raw score = 84
μ = mean = 68
σ = standard deviation = 10
Putting the values,

The percent of his sales that were less than or equal to 84 inches, is

Therefore, the remaining 100-94.5=5.5% were more than 84 inches.
X^2 + 3x - 6
This is because x^2 and 3x have nothing they can combine with, leaving them as their own number. 1 + - 6 will give you -5 as adding to a negative only reduces not adds entirely.
Hope this helps!
