Geometric sequences use either division or multiplication as the common ratio.  The third choice down has a common ratio of 3.  1*3=3, 3*3=9, 3*9=27, etc.

Answer:

Option C. is the geometric sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence there should be a common ratio in each successive term.

Now we will check the common ratio in each option.

A). 1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{24}........

In this sequence if we find the common ratio

Ratio of second and first term = \frac{\text{Second term}}{\text{First term}}

= \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1}=\frac{1}{2}

Similarly ratio of third and second term = \frac{\text{Third term}}{\text{Second term}}

= \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{2}}

= \frac{2}{6}

= \frac{1}{3}

Here ratios are not common. Therefore, sequence is not a geometric sequence.

B). -1, -1, 1, -1, -1..............

ratio of second and first term = \frac{-1}{-1}=1

ratio of third and second term = \frac{1}{-1}=-1

Ratios are not equal so sequence is not a geometric sequence.

C). 1, 3, 9, 27...............

ratio of second and first term = \frac{3}{1}=3

ratio of third and second term = \frac{9}{3}=3

Both the ratios are same therefore, sequence is geometric.

D). 3, 6, 9, 12..............

ratio of second and first term = \frac{6}{3}=2

ratio of third and second term = \frac{9}{6}=\frac{3}{2}

Ratios are not equal so sequence is not a geometric sequence.

I found this online, hope it helps


Just follow these steps:
Multiply normally, ignoring the decimal points.
Then put the decimal point in the answer - it will have as many decimal places as the two original numbers combined.

30 tens = ones<br> 30 tens = hundreds
Svetllana [295]

30 tens = 30 x 10 = 300

300 ones = 300 x 1 = 300

300 is your answer

30 tens = 30 x 10 = 300

3 hundreds = 3 x 100 = 300

Which expressions are equivalent to the one below? Check all that apply.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The answer would be A. 3.3x

Step-by-step explanation:

3.3x can be broken down as 3.3.x

3.3 equals 9 and the 'x' is multiplied to 9.

Hence, it equals to 9x.

IgorC [24]
Sin 2 x + 2 sin x = 0
2 sin x cos x + 2 sin x = 0 / : 2
sin x cos x + sin x = 0
sin x ( cos x + 1 ) = 0
sin x = 0,  cos x + 1 = 0,  cos x = - 1;
Answer:
x = 0,  or x = π
