Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each new term is the sum of the two preceding terms. Given 2, 9, etc., we see that a number between 2 and 9 is missing; call it x. Then 2 + x must equal 9, and so x = 7, and so the first three terms are 2, 7, 9. Repeating the process, we add 7 and 9, obtaining 16; thus the first four terms are 2, 7, 9, 16. Continuing this pattern, we add 9 and 16 to obtain the fifth term, which is 25: 2, 7, 9, 16, 25. And so on.

What steps would you use to plot (−3, −4, 0) in a 3-dimensional coordinate system?

Answer:

a. From the origin, move back 3 units and down 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The coordinates of a point in a 3-dimensional space is given as:

(-3, -4, 0)

The value of 'x' = -3

The value of 'y' = -4

The value of 'z' = 0

At the origin, the values of 'x', 'y', and 'z' are each equal to 0.

So, the coordinates of origin is (0, 0, 0). In order to reach the point (-3, -4, 0) from the point (0, 0, 0), we don't move along the z-axis as the 'z' value remains the same. We need to move along the 'x' and 'y' directions only.

Now, 'x' is equal to -3. Negative values of 'x' occur backwards from origin. So, we move back by 3 units. to reach the point (-3, 0).

Now, the value of 'y' is -4. Negative values of 'y' occur below the origin. So, we move down by 4 units to reach the point (-3, -4).

Therefore, the correct option is option (a)
