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.

What set or sets of real numbers does -√16 belong to?
Sati [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the square root of 16 can be simplified to 4, which can be represented as a fraction: 4/1, so it's not irrational, but rather rational.

Whole numbers are similar to integers, and natural numbers, the only difference is integers includes all real numbers, which do not have a decimal value. So this includes negative numbers, zero, and positive numbers.

Whole numbers include all real numbers, which do not have a decimal value, and are greater than or equal to zero, or in other words, not negative.

Natural numbers include all real numbers, which do not have a decimal value, and are greater than zero, or in other words, positive numbers.

So this number is a integer, and rational number. (since the negative number in front of the radical)

vladimir2022 [97]

The number of ways there are to move from (0, 0) to (7, 7) in the coordinate plane with movements of only one unit right or one unit up accordingly is; 49 while that such that y =x is; 7.

<h3>How many ways are there to get from (0, 0) to (7, 7) in the coordinate plane with pmovements of only one unit right or one unit up?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the movement intended on the coordinate plane is; from (0, 0) to (7, 7).

The number of ways to move such that movements of only one unit right or one unit up is; 7 × 7 = 49.

The number of ways for which y= x is therefore is; 7 as the movement is diagonal.
