<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.

The length of a rectangle is 3 more inches than the width. Find the length and width of the rectangle is the perimeter of the re
n200080 [17]

Part A:

Let the width of the rectangle be = x inches

As given, the length of a rectangle is 3 more inches than the width so let the length of the rectangle be = x+3 inches

Perimeter is given as = 54 inches

Perimeter = 2(l+b)

Equation becomes:

2(x+3+x)=54

2(2x+3)=54

Part B:

Solving the equation we get

4x+6=54

4x=54-6

4x=48

x=12

Hence, the width of the rectangle is 12 inches

Length = x+3 = 12+3 = 15 inches

Hence, length of the rectangle is 15 inches.

Х-y=5<br> x-2y=3<br><br> Can someone help me
tatiyna
First multiply -1 on the top to cancel X

It will give u:

-X+Y=-5
X-2Y=3 which gives u

y=2

Now, plug in the y (one of the equation it doesn’t matter which one) to solve for X

X-2=5
X=7
