9/17 15/34 6/17 9/34 geometric sequence?

In a geometric sequence each number after the first is found by multiplying the previous number by a fixed number called the common ratio.

In an arithmetic sequence, each term is equal to the previous term plus or minus a constant called the common difference.

In your problem we have a sequence of numbers that appears to be decreasing in value, but on the surface it doesn't appear to be by any constant number... but if you look closely, the denominator 34 is exactly twice the other denominator 17. This would lead me to look at a common denominator to see if anything takes shape...

9/17 = 18/34
15/34
6/17 = 12/34
9/34

Now we see that each number is the previous number minus 3/34, so we have a common difference of 3/34.

This would match the definition of an arithmetic sequence and NOT a geometric sequence.

Help needed I need the answer with work shown for the graphs
andreyandreev [35.5K]

top left: speed = 2.7 miles per hour  = 2.7 MPH

top right: speed = 0 miles per hour  = 0 MPH

bottom left: speed = 4 miles per hour  = 4 mi/h

bottom right: speed = 2 miles per hour  = 2 mi/h

and so, the fastest is bottom left. And pay attention in class! i'm in highschool and Iearned this in 6th grade!

Step-by-step explanation:

key: speed= distance/time

distance= speedxtime

time=distance/speed

top left: 8/3= 2.66667 MPH= 2.7 MPH

top right: 0/8= 0 MPH= 0 MPH

bottom left: 8/2= 4 MPH= 4 MPH

bottom right: 8/4= 2 MPH= 2 MPH

Shane started FFA with a pig that weighed 120 pounds. After six weeks her pig gained 30% in weight. what is the new weight of sh
grigory [225]
First, we must figure out how much weight the pig gained and then add that number to the pig’s initial weight.

To figure out how much weight the pig gained, we must find 30% of 120.

Because 30% = 0.3, 30% of 120 = 0.3 * 120 ( the word of indicates multiplication in mathematics).

0.3 * 120 = 36

Therefore, the pig gained 36 pounds.

To find the pig’s new weight, we must add 36 pounds to the pig’s original 120 pound weight.

36 + 120 = 156

Therefore, the new weight of Shane’s pig is 156 pounds.

Hope this helps!
