4 1/2-3 5/8=0.875 or 875/1000 or 35/40 or 7/8
Answer:
12 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Compute successive differences of the terms.
If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.
If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.
Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.
Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
Since B is the midpoint of AC, that means AB = BC. That means 3x+4 = 5x-6. We can now set up an equation to solve for x:
3x+4 = 5x-6
3x+10 = 5x
10 = 2x
x = 5
Now that we know what x is, we can just plug x into the expression of AB and multiply it by 2:
(3*(5)+4)*2
=(15+4)*2
=19*2
=28
(side note: we could have plugged x into the expression of BC as well, but in this case plugging it into AB tends to be easier to solve)
Therefore, the length of AC is 28.
