<h3>Answer: Choice D) 8, 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Each term of sequence D has us multiply by 1/2, or divide by 2, to get the next term.

8 * (1/2) = 4

4 * (1/2) = 2

2 * (1/2) = 1

1 * (1/2) = 1/2

(1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4

and so on

We can divide any term, except the first term, by its prior term to get the common ratio, so for instance,

common ratio = (term2)/(term1) = 4/8 = 1/2

and if we apply this to all possible pairs of consecutive terms then we see that we get 1/2 across the board. This confirms we have a geometric sequence.

---------------

The other sequences do not fit this pattern.

For example, choice B has

(term2)/(term1) = 10/(-7) = -1.43

and

(term3)/(term2) = 23/10 = 2.30

those results are not the same; therefore, sequence B is not geometric. The other answer choices can be ruled out in a similar fasion.

Let f(x) = x2 − 3x − 7. Find f(−3).
elena55 [62]

Answer:

f(-3) = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(-3), substitute x = - 3 into f(x)

⇒ f ( − 3 )  =  ( − 3 )^ 2  −  3 ( − 3 )  −  7

= 9 + 9 − 7 = 11

hope this helps

sorry if wrong

Which is greater 12/12 10/11​
nexus9112 [7]

12/12 is greater because it is the same thing as 1 whole, whereas 10/11 is still considered a fraction of a whole number.
