If the sequence is say,
a,b,c,d ,....
then the common ratio r can be found by

r = b/a
or
r = c/b
or
r= d/c
and so on.

The minimum and maximum distances from a focus to a point on an ellipse occur when that point on the ellipse is an endpoint of t

Sauron [17]

The answer is True.

Explanation:
Let a = major axis
Let b = minor axis
Let c = focal length.

Consider the right focus, located a distance c from the center of the ellipse (at the origin).
From the right focus to the right point on the major axis is equal to a-c. This is the minimum distance.
From the right focus to the left point on the major axis is equal to a+c. This is the maximum distance.

Maria's math test had 25 questions she got 84% correct how many did she get wrong

inysia [295]

$\frac{x}{25}=84% \\ \frac{x}{25}=.84 \\ 25( \frac{x}{25})=(.84)(25) \\ x=21$
Maria got 21 correct.

Number wrong = Total - Number right
y = 25 - 21
y = 4

Maria got 4 wrong.

Hope this helps!
