In a geometric sequence each number after the first is found by multiplying the previous number by a fixed number called the common ratio.
In an arithmetic sequence, each term is equal to the previous term plus or minus a constant called the common difference.
In your problem we have a sequence of numbers that appears to be decreasing in value, but on the surface it doesn't appear to be by any constant number... but if you look closely, the denominator 34 is exactly twice the other denominator 17. This would lead me to look at a common denominator to see if anything takes shape...
9/17 = 18/34
15/34
6/17 = 12/34
9/34
Now we see that each number is the previous number minus 3/34, so we have a common difference of 3/34.
This would match the definition of an arithmetic sequence and NOT a geometric sequence.
Answer:
13 months
Step-by-step explanation:
m=number of months
30(m)+50
30*13= 390
390+50=440
Answer:
a. D and E are similar but not congruent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's analyse each statement and determine which is true about the 3 given quadrilaterals:
a. "D and E are similar but not congruent." TRUE.
D is similar to E because, every segment of D is proportional to the corresponding segments of E. The ratio of their corresponding segments are equal.
D and E are not congruent because their segments are not of equal length. Thus, they have the same shape but different sizes.
b. "E and F are similar and congruent." NOT TRUE.
E and F has the same size, hence they are congruent. However, they are not similar, because they don't have the same shape. Their corresponding lengths are not proportional.
c. "D and E are similar and congruent." NOT TRUE.
Since statement (a) is TRUE, statement (c) cannot be true.
D and E are similar because they have the same shape and the ratio of their corresponding sides are the same. D and E are not congruent, because they are not of the same size.
d. "F and D are similar but not congruent." NOT TRUE.
F and D has the same size but the ratio of their corresponding sides are not the same.
