Answer:

FH = 36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Points F, G and H are collinear.

Therefore, by joining segments FG and GH we get a segment FH.

FH = FG + GH

By substituting the values of the segments given in the question,

FH = (3x - 1) + (2x + 2)

= 5x + 1

Since, GH = 16

2x + 2 = 16

2x = 14

x = 7

Therefore, FH = (5x + 1)

= 35 + 1

= 36 units

Measure of segment FH = 36 units.

Find the positive value of x in the geometric sequence 7x-2,4x+4,3x

Goryan [66]

Hello,

Let's assume k the ratio.

$
 \left \{ {{3x=k*(4x+4)} \atop {4x+4=k*(7x-2)}} \right. \\\\
 \left \{ {{3x-4kx=4k} \atop {4x-7kx=-2k-4}} \right. \\\\
 \left \{ {{x(3-4k)=4k} \atop {x(4-7k)=-2k-4}} \right. \\\\
 \left \{ {{x=\dfrac{4k}{3-4k} \atop {x=\dfrac{-2k-4}{4-7k} \right. \\\\

\dfrac{4k}{3-4k}=\dfrac{-2k-4}{4-7k}\\\\

36k^2-6k-12=0\\
6k^2-k-2=0\\

\boxed{k= \dfrac{2}{3} \ or\ k= -\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\

x=\dfrac{4*\dfrac{2}{3} }{3-4*\dfrac{2}{3} }=8\\
x=\dfrac{4*\dfrac{-1}{2} }{3-4*\dfrac{-1}{2} }=-\dfrac{2}{5}\\





$

$\boxed{x= 8 \ or\ x= -\dfrac{2}{5}}\\\\$
