The numbers given in the problem above are part of an arithmetic sequence with first and sixth terms equal to -21 and -36, respectively. Firstly, calculate for the common difference (d).
 
                                    d = (-36 - -21) / (6 - 1) = -3

The arithmetic mean is calculated by adding -3 to the term prior to it. 

            a2 = -21 + -3 = -24               a3 = -24 + -3 = -27
            a4 = -27 + -3 = -30               a5 = -30 + -3 = -33

Thus the four arithmetic means are -24, -27, -30, and -33.

Answer:

(x - 1)² + (y + 1/2)² = 65/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  the endpoints of the diameter are (3, 3) and (-1, -4).  a( To determine the center of this circle, find the midpoint of the line segment connecting these two points:

      3 - 1

x = -----------

          2

and

         -1

y = ----------

          2

The center is at x = 1 and y = -1/2:  (1, -1/2).

b) The radius is half the diameter.  The diameter is the distance between the two endpoints given, that is, the distance between (-1, -4) and (3, 3):

diameter = √(4² + 7²) = √(16 + 49) = √65; therefore,

radius = (1/2)√65.

square of the radius = r² = 65/4

The general equation of a circle with center at (h, k) and radius r is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r².  In this case, the equation is:

(x - 1)² + (y + 1/2)² = 65/4

The first term of a geometric sequence is equal to a and the common ratio of the sequence is r.
ololo11 [35]

Answer: (a)  {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...}, (b)  arⁿ⁻¹

For part (a), the question gives us the first term a, and then asks us to apply the common ratio r six times.

In order for ar = a, the nth term of r will have to equal 0 (this implies that n is an exponent; thus giving us the first term a, as r = 1).

Since we use this method on the first term, we must use it for the next five, in which r gains an additional exponent for every consecutive value (nth term) thereafter.  

Ultimately getting: {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...}

For part (b), we first have to understand that the sequence does not start at 0, but at 1 for n. In order for ar = a, with n = 1, there needs to be subtraction of -1 within the exponent. So that arⁿ⁻¹

If we check and apply this, we can see that:

{ar¹⁻¹, ar²⁻¹, ar³⁻¹, ar⁴⁻¹, ar⁵⁻¹, ar⁶⁻¹...} = {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...} = arⁿ⁻¹ = Tn

Which equation represents a line which is perpendicular to the y-axis?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-axis and any lines that are parallel to it are vertical. Therefore, a line that would be perpendicular to the y-axis would need to be horizontal. All horizontal lines have a slope equal to 0 and are represented by the equation y = a constant, or a single number with no variables.  

The only option that follows that format is y = 5, thus that is the answer.
