Find the common ratio of the geometric sequence 18,-72,288,...

Answer:

<em>The common ratio of the geometric sequence is -4</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Geometric Sequence</u>

A geometric sequence is defined as a series of numbers that follow a fixed pattern: Each term equals the previous term times a fixed number called the common ratio. The recursive formula is:

a_n=a_{n-1}*r

Where r is the common ratio.

We are given three terms of a geometric sequence:

18,-72,288,...

To find the common ratio, just divide each term by the previous term:

\displaystyle r=\frac{-72}{18}=-4

Make sure it's a fixed number and test with the third term:

\displaystyle r=\frac{288}{-72}=-4

Since both numbers coincide, the common ratio of the geometric sequence is -4

Answer:

B)  (8, 0) and (-4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept when y = 0

so

x^2 - 4x - 32 = 0

Factors

(x - 8)(x + 4 ) = 0

x - 8 = 0; x = 8

x + 4 = 0; x = -4

(8, 0) and (-4,0)
