What is the missing term in the geometric sequence?

Is a geometric sequence, so that means a number is multiplying to current term to get the next one... meaning if we simply divide those two terms, the quotient is that "multiplier", namely the "common ratio"

so... hmm let's try say -1536 and 384

\bf \cfrac{-1536}{384}\implies -4\impliedby \textit{common ratio}
\\\\\\
n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
n=n^{th}\ term\\
----------\\
a_1=-6\\
r=-4\\
n=3
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{the third term is then }\implies a_3=(-6)(-4)^{3-1}
\\\\\\
a_2=(-6)(-4)^2\implies a_2=-6\cdot 16\implies a_2=-96

A man wants to beautify his front yard by planting four 20−foot-tall palm trees alongside his house. Each tree will need a cylin
GREYUIT [131]

He have to buy 4 bags to put all the dirt at once.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius = 17 inches

Height = 28 inches

Volume of dirt from the cylindrical hole = π(r x r) h

= π(17 x 17) 28

= (3.14) (289) 28

= 25408.88 cubic inches

1 foot = 12 inches

Volume of dirt the bag can hold= 24 x 18 x 48

= 20736 cubic inches of dirt

The man fills only one third of the bag.

The volume of dirt the man fills = (1/3)20736

= 6912 cubic inches

Total bags = 25408.88/6912

= 3.69

= appx. 4 bags

He have to buy 4 bags to put all the dirt at once.

Answer:

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find the scale factor from A to B you need to divide B by A. 13.5÷6=2.25. 11.25÷5=2.25 and 4.5÷2=2.25.

therefore the scale factor is 2.25 because when you multiply the sides from A by 2.25 you get the length of the side from B.
