Ooh, fun
geometric sequences can be represented as

so the first 3 terms are



the sum is -7/10

and their product is -1/125

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get

note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as

subsituting -1/5 for ar

which simplifies to

multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for


so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2




so

or

use them to solve for the value of a


try for r=2 and 1/2

or

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²=

it works
for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²=

it works
both have the same terms but one is simplified
the 3 numbers are

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding angles are angles that you can follow down the transversal and they will land in the same spot on the other parallel line. Look at angle 8. It is the bottom left angle in the group of 4 angles around it. If you slide it to the left it would land right on top of angle 4 which is also in the bottom left of its group of 4 angles.
You can do the same thing taking angle 8 down to angle 12.
Answer:
$29.7
Step-by-step explanation:
10 percent of 27 is 2.7 then you add 27 and 2.7 and you get 29.7
At the end of the year, Juan has 52.71 more than 4 times his balance at the beginning. Okay, let's set this up.
4x + 52.71
(4 times) (52.71 more)
His ending was 172.90, so
4x + 52.71=172.90
4x= 120.19
x= 30.05
He had $30.05 at the beginning of the year.
They will cost $54
i know this because if youre getting 40% off, you will have to pay 60% of the total cost
so, 90 x .60 = 54
let me know if you have any further questions
