Answer:

-1/3 or 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Second term = ar, the third = ar^2 and the fourth = ar^3.

So we have the equation:

ar + ar^2 = 6ar^3

r + r^2 = 6r^3

6r^3 - r^2 - r = 0

r(6r^2 - r - 1) = 0

(3r + 1 )(2r -1) = 0

r = -1/3, 1/2.

Answer:

Percent error is approx. 22%

Step-by-step explanation:

So to do this you need to know the formula for percent error, which is

percent error = l measured - theoretical / theoretical l * 100%

With this just plug in 18 (real) and 14 (measured).

percent error = l 14 - 18 / 18 l * 100%

percent error = l -4 / 18 l *100%

percent error = l -2/9 l *100%

You then do absolute value because the percent error must be positive not negative! So -2/9 becomes 2/9. You then divide 2/9 to get approx. 0.22... and you muliply by 100% to get 22%.

If M is the midpoint of AB, A(-3, 4) and M(-1, 2) find the coordinates<br> of B.
trapecia [35]

Answer:

B(1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of (a,b) and (c,d) is ((a+c)/2,(c+d)/2)

Essentially, you just average the x and y values.

So, the average of -3 and b_x is -1.

The average of 4 and b_y is 2.

So x=1 and y=0
