-4 is also a geometric mean
if we consider a(first element in series)=1 and r(common ratio)=-4 then the series would be
1,-4,16,-64,256,…..,a(-4)^(n-1 )
where n is nth term
from this -4 would be the geometric mean if we consider -4 as common ratio .
If we consider 4 as common ratio then geometric mean should be 4
so you should mention whether common ratio >0 or not (r>0 or not) .
[without ‘r’ value you can’t solve the question but in general most of the teachers will consider r>0.]
So, -4 won’t be geometric mean of 1 & 16
Ex: (A) 19.95÷29.95 and you will get your answers
<span>Simplifying
(5b + -9) + -3(8 + -2b) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(-9 + 5b) + -3(8 + -2b) = 0
Remove parenthesis around (-9 + 5b)
-9 + 5b + -3(8 + -2b) = 0
-9 + 5b + (8 * -3 + -2b * -3) = 0
-9 + 5b + (-24 + 6b) = 0
Reorder the terms:
-9 + -24 + 5b + 6b = 0
Combine like terms: -9 + -24 = -33
-33 + 5b + 6b = 0
Combine like terms: 5b + 6b = 11b
-33 + 11b = 0
Solving
-33 + 11b = 0
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '33' to each side of the equation.
-33 + 33 + 11b = 0 + 33
Combine like terms: -33 + 33 = 0
0 + 11b = 0 + 33
11b = 0 + 33
Combine like terms: 0 + 33 = 33
11b = 33</span>
Answer:
113
Step-by-step explanation:
The supplement of angle 3 is congruent to 67, because they are corresponding angles. After you subtract the supplement from 180, you should get angle 3
180-67=113
Answer:
Bryan walks faster
Bryan was farther away from home when he started walking.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Brendon's distance in feet from home 'y' in relation to the number of minutes walked 'x'
y = 7,920 − 270x
For bryan:
Minutes (x) - - - 0 - - - - - 15
Feet ( y) - - 8000 - - - 3800
General form of a linear equation :
y = mx + C
m = gradient / slope
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (3800 - 8000) / (15 - 0)
m = -4200 / 15 = - 280
Intercept 'c' = 8000 (where line intersect the y axis), (since y = 8000, when x = 0)
Therefore,
Bryan's model:
y = 8000 - 280x
Comparing both functions :
Bryan has a greater speed ( from the gradient)
Bryan was farther away from home when he started walking ( intercept )
