A,ar,ar².... is the gp

now 2/15/1/5 = 2/3

and 4/45/2/15 = 2/3

therefore 2/3 is the common ratio

This is already answered by: <span>Cerverusdante</span>

So have the sequence: 1/5,2/15,4/45,8/135,16/405To check if the sequence is geometric, we are going to find its common ratio; to do it we are going to use the formula: r=(an)/(an-1)where  r is the common ratio  an is the current term in the sequence an is the previous term in the sequenceIn other words we are going to divide the current term by the previous term a few times, and we will to check if that ratio is the same:
For an= 2/15 and an-1=1/5 :r=(2/15)/(1/5)r=2/3
For an=4/45 and an-1=2/15:
r=(4/45)/(2/15)
r=2/3


For  an=8/135 and an-1=4/45 :r=(8/135)/(4/45)
r=2/3
As you can see, we have a common ratio!
We can conclude that our sequence is a geometric sequence and its common ratio is  2/3

the basement has an area of 864 square feet. the width of the basement is two thirds its length. What is the length of the basem
Leno4ka [110]
A = 864
w = 2/3l

A = lw

Plug in what we know:

864 = l(2/3l)

Multiply:

864 = 2/3l^2

Divide 2/3 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 3/2:

864 * 3/2 = l^2

2592/2 = l^2

1296 = l^2

Find the square root of both sides:

l = 36

So the length of the basement is 36 feet.

What are two numbers that multiply to equal -24 but add to equal +2
Sav [38]

Answer:

  6 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum is near 0, so the factors will be near √24, approximately 5. From your knowledge of multiplication facts, you know that 4×6 = 24.

The product will be negative when one of these factors is negative. Since you want a positive sum, the larger one must be positive.

  The numbers are 6 and -4.
