The researchers used data from 10 trials so they could compare each trial or use the information in all, its better to use more than one so you can compare and see the difference.
Answer:
Fourth term:
=
= 
Fifth term:
=
= 1
Sixth term: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric progression is:

The first term, a, is 9
To find the common ratio, r, all we have to do is divide a term by its preceding term.
Let us divide the second term by the first:

That is the common ratio.
Geometric progression is given generally as:

where a = first term
r = common ratio
= nth term
We need to find the 4th, 5th and 6th terms.
Fourth term:
=
= 
Fifth term:
=
= 1
Sixth term: 
It is decreasing, since the y-value is going down.
Answer:
y-axis and x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
PEMDAS is order of operations...
Parentheses first, you can combine like terms...
8(6j+7)
Multiplication/division is next...8 times each term inside the parentheses
48j+56
Since there is one term with a variable and one is just a number that is as far as you can go...there are no more like terms...
