Answer:

C) Geometric; r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence An = {1.2, 2.4, 4.8,9.6,...}

Geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

The given sequence is a geometric sequence. Because second term is first term multiplied by a constant 2.

The common ratio = 2.4/1.2  = 2

r= 2

Answer: C) Geometric; r = 2

Thank you.

Answer: (C) geometric, r = 2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, 9.6
  •    ∨     ∨     ∨
  •   x2    x2   x2

Each term is multiplied by 2 to create the next term.  Multiplication makes this a geometric sequence. Since it is multiplied by 2, r = 2.

NOTE: If the terms were added, then it would be an arithmetic sequence.

Mr. Sawyer drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph and returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.
AveGali [126]

Answer: Time taken by him in going = 8 hours

Time taken by him in returning =  9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total distance from home to New York is x miles,

\text{ Since, Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

Also, he drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph,

⇒ \text{ Time taken by him in going } = \frac{x}{45}\text{ hours}

And, returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.

⇒  \text{ Time taken by him in returning } = \frac{x}{40}\text{ hours}

According to the question,

Time taken by him in returning - Time taken by him in going = 30 minutes = 1/2 hours,    ( 1 hours = 60 minutes )

⇒ \frac{x}{40}-\frac{x}{45}=\frac{1}{2}

⇒ \frac{9x}{360}-\frac{8x}{360}=\frac{1}{2}

⇒ \frac{x}{360} = \farc{1}{2}

⇒ 2x=720

⇒ x=360\text{ miles}

Hence, the total distance from home to New York = x miles = 360 miles

⇒ \text{ Time taken by him in going } = \frac{x}{45}\text{ hours}

=\frac{360}{45}=8\text{ hours}

⇒  \text{ Time taken by him in returning } = \frac{x}{40}\text{ hours}

=\frac{360}{40}=9\text{ hours}
