Answer:

b. -0.5; 0.875, -0.4375, 0.21875

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given GP:</u>

  • -7, 3.5, -1.75 ...

<u>Common ratio:</u>

  • r = a₂/a₁
  • r = 3.5/-7 = - 1/2 = -0.5

<u>Next 3 terms:</u>

  • -1.75* (-0.5) = 0.875
  • 0.875*(-0.5) = - 0.4375
  • -0.4375*(-0.5) = 0.21875

<u>Correct answer choice is: </u>

  • b. -0.5; 0.875, -0.4375, 0.21875

Answer:

\Large \boxed{\mathrm{\bold{B.} \ -0.5 \ ; \ 0.875 \ , \ -0.4375 \ , \ 0.21875}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio can be found by finding the quotient of a term and the previous term in the sequence.

\displaystyle \frac{3.5}{-7} =-0.5

The common ratio is -0.5.

The rule is to multiply a term in the sequence by -0.5 to get the next term.

Next 3 terms :

-1.75 \times -0.5=0.875 \\\\ 0.875 \times -0.5 = -0.4375 \\\\ -0.4375 \times -0.5=0.21875

The next 3 terms are 0.875, -0.4375, 0.21875.

The difference between two positive integers is 4. If the smaller is added to the square of the larger, the sum is 68. Find the
xxMikexx [17]
<h3>Given</h3>

Two positive integers x and y

x - y = 4

x² + y = 68

<h3>Find</h3>

x and y

<h3>Solution</h3>

Add the two equations together.

... (x - y) + (x² + y) = (4) + (68)

... x² + x = 72

Rearrange to standard form and factor.

... x² + x - 72 = 0

... (x + 9)(x - 8) = 0

Use the zero product rule to find the solutions. That rule says the product is zero when one or more factors is zero.

... x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = -9

... x - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = 8 . . . . . . the positive solution

Then we can find y from

... 8 - y = 4

... y = 4 . . . . . . . add y-4 to the equation

The two positive integers are 8 and 4.

The area of a circle is 49 cm2. Find the circumference of the circle.
Nataly_w [17]

~Hello There!~

The formula to find the area of a circle is:

\pi r^{2}

We already know this answer, so we write it as:

\pi r^{2} =49

We need to calculate the radius (r) from this so divide both sides by \pi

r^{2} = 15.59718442

Square root this to get r

r = 3.949327085

The formula for circumference is \pi *d

(d is the diameter )

Double the radius to get the diameter:

d = 7.89865417

Multiply this value by \pi to get the answer

The circumference is 24.81435391

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck :)

Have A Great Day ^_^

Median = 75 because that is where the middle line of the box is.

First quartile = 70 because that is what the left edge of the box represents.

Third quartile = 85 because the right edge of the box indicates that.

Maximum = 100 because at the far right is the maximum data point of your data set.

The middle 50% of that data is between 70 and 85 because those are the values the box covers. It goes from the first quartile, 70, and stretches all the way to the third quartile 85.

What is the length of ST?
adell [148]
Hi there!

Since ST is a tangent to the circle, we can use the relationship: tangent squared = external secant segment x entire secant segment.

WORK:
(I will be using x in place of ST)
x^2 = 7(23 + 7)
x^2 = 7(30)
x^2 = 210
x = squareroot(210) or approximately 14.5 inches

Hope this helps!! :)
