The common ratio for the geometric sequence is :
<span>32</span>

Explanation:

<span>16,24,36,54</span>

We calculate the common ratio r:
r is obtained by dividing a term by its preceding term

Answer:  The required common ratio of the given geometric sequence is \dfrac{3}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the common ratio of the following geometric sequence :

16,   24,   36,   54,   .   .   .

We know that

the common ratio of a geometric sequence is the ratio of any term to its preceding term.

For the given sequence, we have

a(1) = 16,   a(2) = 24,  a(3) = 36,  a(4) = 54,  .  .  .

So, we get

\dfrac{a(2)}{a(1)}=\dfrac{24}{16}=\dfrac{3}{2},\\\\\\\dfrac{a(3)}{a(2)}=\dfrac{36}{24}=\dfrac{3}{2},\\\\\\\dfrac{a(4)}{a(3)}=\dfrac{54}{36}=\dfrac{3}{2},~~.~~.~~.

Thus, the required common ratio of the given geometric sequence is \dfrac{3}{2}.

What is the measure of angle c? (Brainliest and Bonus points for best answer)
k0ka [10]

Answer:

\displaystyle 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle <em>b</em> and 135° form a <em>linear pair</em>, so when summing them up to 180°, you will have 45° left over:

\displaystyle 180° = 135° + m∠b; 45° = m∠b

Now, by the <em>Vertical</em><em> </em><em>Angles</em><em> </em><em>Theorem</em>, angle <em>a</em> and 70°, in this case, are to be in <u>congruence</u> with each other, so you have that.

Now you must find the the measure of angle <em>c</em> sinse you have already found the measure of two angles already:

\displaystyle 180° = 45° + m∠c + 70° → 180° = 115° + m∠c; 65° = m∠c

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

how do i write an equation of a quadratic formula when given the roots and y intercept? is there a formula i can plug the number
klio [65]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -3x^2 +3x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

For roots p and q, the equation can be written as ...

  y = a(x -p)(x -q)

The value of 'a' must be determined so that the product <em>apq</em> is equal to the y-intercept. One could say that the formula is ...

  y = (y-intercept)/(pq)·(x -p)(x -q)

For your given values of p = 2, q = -1, y-intercept = 6, this becomes ...

  y = 6/(2(-1))(x -2)(x +1)

  y = -3(x^2 -x -2) . . . . . simplifying a bit

  y = -3x^2 +3x +6

Write the equation of the graph​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

y = x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we see the line goes from point (0, -3) to point ( 3, 0), so we can find the slope as m= rise ( go up 3)  / run ( go to the right 3)  = 3/ 3 = 1

From the graph we can also see the y-intercept ( where the line intersects the y axis is at b = -3

The general equation of the line is y= mx+ b

Our line's equation is y = x -3, because m=1 and b= -3
