Answer:

Common Ratio = First Term = Common Difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term of AP is an = a + (n-1)d

So, the second term of AP is a2 = a + d

The sixth term of AP is a6 = a + 5d

The eighteenth term of AP is a18 = a + 17d

Now, the terms a2, a6 and a18 are in GP.

⇒ r = \frac{a6}{a2} = \frac{a18}{a6}

or, r = \frac{a + 5d}{a+d} = \frac{a+ 17d}{a+ 5d}

By cross multiplying, we get

(a+5d)^{2} = (a+d)(a+17d)

or, a^{2}+ 25d^{2} + 10ad = a^{2} + 17ad+ ad+ 17d^{2}

Now, simplifying the above expression, we get that

8d^{2} = 8ad\\or, a = d

or, r = a = d

Hence, the Common Ratio = First Term = Common Difference.

1. Find Angle A :

  • x  + 24 = 3x

  • 3x - x =   2 4

  • 2x = 24

  • x = 12

Angle A :

  • 3x

  • 3 \times 12

  • 36 \degree

2. Find Angle B :

  • 10x - 27 = 7x

  • 10x - 7x = 27

  • 3x = 27

  • x = 9

Angle B :

  • 10x - 27

  • (10 \times 9) - 27

  • 90 - 27

  • 63 \degree

Find Angle C :

  • 5x + 1 = 6x  - 13

  • 6x - 5 x =  1 + 13

  • x = 14

Angle C :

  • 5x + 1

  • (5 \times 14) + 1

  • 70 + 1

  • 71 \degree

Find Angle D :

  • 6x  +  3 = 4x + 39

  • 6x - 4x = 39  -  3

  • 2x = 36

  • x = 18

Angle D :

  • 4x + 39

  • (4 \times 18) + 39

  • 72 + 39

  • 111\degree

And it's given :

  • 36° = Angle A = B

  • 63° = Angle B = A

  • 71° = Angle C = H

  • 111° = Angle D = E

Therefore, the answer will be " BAHE "

Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
Kisachek [45]

The point-slope form: y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Q2.

(1,\ -7)\to x_1=1,\ y_1=-7\\m=1\\\\y-(-7)=1(x-1)\\\\y+7=(x-1)

Q3.

(5,\ 9)\to x_1=5,\ y_1=9\\m=2\\\\y-9=2(x-5)

Q4.

y=mx+b\\\\(0,\ 1)\to b=1\\\\y=mx+1

The formula of a slope: m=\dfrac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}

((-2,\ 4)\to x_1=-2,\ y=4\\(2,\ -2)\to x_2=2,\ y_2=-2\\\\m=\dfrac{-2-4}{2-(-2)}=\dfrac{-6}{4}=-1.5

y=-1.5x+1
