Remember that finding terms in a geometric sequence is done by multiplying the previous term by a common ratio . For example, we can say:
We have . To find
, let's multiply this term by
:
Now, let's use this to find all of our other terms:
Thus, our terms are 64, 80, 100, 125, and (625/4).
Answer:
For the first one
x= About 32.02
y= About 27.58
z= About 55.16
For the second one
x= 6
y= 12
z= about 16.97
Step-by-step explanation:
Their all really simple
These are special right triangles, a 45, 45, 90 and a 30, 60, 90 triangle. The formla for these triangles are shown in the picture below.
Now for the first one ]
Lets find Z first
Now this is a 45 special right triangle so we know the other side s 39 but the hypotenuse is n (I’m using N becuase x and y is taken) So n is basically 39 (look at the image below) and just solve that. Now for x and y. We know its a 30, special right triangle. We know that 39 here is already the answer for N
so make an equation to find the n and you’ll get 27.58 for y. Now For x, its just doubled the y.
For the second one this is easier
We know that the x is (6) becuase its already in the radical number, now to find the hypotnuse, we double that and get 12. Now we know what y is becuase since the 2nd triangle is a 45/45/90, we know that 12 is y, the hypotnuse is just N and we just plug in the n with 12 and solve it!
