if a b 9 are in GP
b÷a = 9 ÷ b
b^2 = 9a
if a - 1 b 9 are in AP
2b = a+8
b = a+8÷2
substitute
b is equal to a + 8 by 2 in b square equal to 9 a
(a+8÷2)^2 = 9a
a^2+16a+64 = 36a
a^2 -20a +64 =0
(a-16) (a-4) =0
a= 16 or a=4
when a=16 b= 12
when a=4 b= 6
Value of a and b are given above
Answer:
(-2, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
~When reflecting a point of the x-axis, the x value (or first number inside the parenthesis) does not change.
The reason the x-value does not change is because you are reflecting over the x-axis, making the point go up or down. That will change the y-value but the x-value only changes if you move to the left or the right. In this case, you can see that the point's x-value is -2, so that will not change. It's current y-value however is -4. When reflecting over an axis, the number that is changing (in this case the y-value) will just be flipped from positive to negative, or vise versa. In this case, -4 will be reflected to be 4, making point C reflected over the x-axis (-2, 4).
You should multiply 20 time 8 to get your answer
Answer:
<h3>
The width (side perpedicular to the barn):
<u>x = 8 m</u></h3><h3> The lenght (side parallel to the barn):
<u>y = 16 m</u> </h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
x - the width of the barn
She has 32 m of fencing so for the lenght remain (32-2x) m of fencing:
y = 32 - 2x
Area of the fencing: A = x•y
A(x) = x•(32 - 2x)
A(x) = -2x² + 32x ← quadratic function
The maximum value of quadratic function occurs at: 
a = -2, b = 32
32-2x = 32 - 2•8 = 16
