Answer:

C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.

A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.

B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.

C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Center: (4,8)

Radius: 2.5

Equation: (x-4)^2+(y-8)^2=6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

It was given that; the endpoints of the longest chord on a circle are (4, 5.5) and (4, 10.5).

Note that the longest chord is the diameter;

The midpoint of the ends of the diameter gives us the center;

Use the midpoint formula;

(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

The center is at; (\frac{4+4)}{2} ,\frac{5.5+10.5}{2}=(4,8)

To find the radius, use the distance formula to find the distance from the center to one of the endpoints.

The distance formula is;

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

r=\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(10.5-8)^2}

r=\sqrt{0^2+(2.5)^2}

r=\sqrt{0^2+(2.5)^2}=2.5

The equation of the circle in standard form is given by;

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

We substitute the center and the radius into the formula to get;

(x-4)^2+(y-8)^2=2.5^2

(x-4)^2+(y-8)^2=6.25

How do you solve and check x/4 = -5
Mashutka [201]

Rearrange x/4-(-5)=0

Simplify x/4

-5 = -5/1 = -5*4/4

x- (-5*4)/4 = x+20/4

x+ 20/4 = 0

x+20/4 * 4 = 0*4

The equation now takes the shape: x+20=0

subtract 20 from both sides of the equation: x=-20

Answer: x=-20
