Answer:

r = $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio r of a geometric sequence is

r = $\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }$ = $\frac{a_{3} }{a_{2} }$ = $\frac{a_{4} }{a_{3} }$ = ......

r = $\frac{-82}{-164}$ = $\frac{-41}{-82}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

What is magnitude in maths ?

blondinia [14]

Answer:

In mathematics, the magnitude or size of a mathematical object is a property which determines whether the object is larger or smaller than other objects of the same kind. More formally, an object's magnitude is the displayed result of an ordering ( or ranking ) - of the class of objects to which it belongs.

Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line passing through (5,-4) and is perpendicular to a line whose equation is -2

Sergeu [11.5K]

Rearrange the given equation in slope intercept form
$y = \frac{3x - 1}{ - 2} \\ y = - \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{1}{2}$
slope of the required line is
$- \frac{1}{ - \frac{3}{2} } = \frac{2}{3}$
equation is given by
$y - y1 = m(x - x1) \\ y - - 4 = \frac{2}{3} (x - 5) \\ y + 4 = \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{10}{3} \\ y = \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{10}{3} - 4 \\ y = \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{22}{3}$
