Use the geometric mean to find the 7th term in a geometric sequence if the 6th term is 12 and the 8th term is 27. 20 19.5 18 17

1 answer:

7 0

A₆ =12

a₇ = ?? = x

a₈ 27

In this case x is the geometric mean & as per the formula
geometric mean of 2 numbers =√(a₆ * a₈) = √(12*27)
& x=18.
Proof:
Find the common ratio between a₇ & a₆ ==> = ( x) / 12
now find the common ration between a₈ & a₇ ===> =27 / (x)
x/12 = 27/x ===> x² = 12*27 ==> x² = 324 & x =√324 = 18

Graph the equation

Lisa [10]

To find the root, replace y with 0
X^2-12x+35=0
A=1 B=-12 C=35
B^2-4ac=(-12)^2 -4(1)(35)
=144 -140
=4

x=(-b+/- square root of b^2 -4ac) /over/ (2a)
Plug in the numbers
x=-(-12) sqr (-12)^2 4(1)(35) / (2)(1)
X=12 +/-sqr 4 / 2
Positive outcome
x=12 + sqr 4 / 2
x=12+2/2
x=7 <— this one
Negative outcome
x=12-2i/2
x=6-i

Please answer both with work,please use a paper and picture, thanks

Answer:

a. $\frac{\textbf{17}}{\textbf{4}}$

b. $\frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. $\textbf{3} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{+} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{1}\frac{\textbf{1}}{\textbf{4}}$

A mixed fraction of the form $a\frac{x}{y} = a + \frac{x}{y}$

$\therefore 3 + 1\frac{1}{4} = 3 + 1 + \frac{1}{4}$

$= 4 + \frac{1}{4}$

$= \frac{\textbf{17}}{\textbf{4}}$

b. $\textbf{2} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{-} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{1}\frac{\textbf{5}}{\textbf{8}}$

A mixed fraction of the form $-c\frac{a}{b} = - c - \frac{a}{b}$

$\therefore 2 - 1\frac{5}{8} = 2 - 1 - \frac{5}{8}$

$= 1 - \frac{5}{8}$

$= \frac{8 - 5}{8}$

$= \frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{8}}$

Hence, the answer.
