Answer:

B. -3, 3, -3, 3...

Step-by-step explanation:

There's two types of sequences, arithmetic and geometric.

Arithmetic equations are sequences that increase or decrease by adding or subtracting the previous number.

For example, take a look at the following sequence:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20...

Here, the numbers are increasing by +2. [adding]

So, this the sequence is arithmetic, since its adding.

Geometric sequences are sequences that increase or decrease by multiplying or dividing the previous number.

For example, take a look at the following sequence:

2, 4, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512...

Here, the numbers are icnreasing by x2. [multiplying]

So, the sequence is geometric since its multiplying.

Based on this information, the correct answer is "B. -3, 3, -3, 3..." since its being multiplyed by -1.

Find the product. (-5a ^2)^3·a ^5 A)-15a10 B)-125a11 C)15a6 D)-125a10

Ber [7]

Answer:

B) -125a^11

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5a^2)^3·a^5 = (-5)^3·a^6·a^5

= (-5)^3·a^(2·3)·a^5

= (-5)^3·a^6·a^5

= -125·a^(6+5)

= -125·a^11 . . . . matches choice B

_____

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

Answer:

parallelogram, quadrilateral

Step-by-step explanation:

a rectangle is a quadrilateral because it has 4 sides.

it is a a parallelogram because it has two sets of parallel lines in those four sides.

in order for a quadrilateral to be a rhombus, all sides must be the same length. (if a rectangle is a rhombus, it is a square.)

Which biconditional is not a good definition?

Xelga [282]

The correct answers are:

A ray is a bisector of an angle if and only if it splits the angle into two angles; and
A) I can afford to buy a ticket.

Explanation:

For the first question, the first three answers are very specific and true:

A whole number is odd if it is not divisible by 2, and a number is not divisible by 2 if it is odd;
an angle is straight if its measure is 180 degrees, and the measure of an angle is 180 degrees if it is a straight angle;
a whole number is even if it is divisible by 2, and a number is divisible by 2 if it is even.

However, with the fourth choice, we are missing a key word in the definition. A ray is a bisector of an angle if and only if it splits the angle into two CONGRUENT angles. It is not just a ray that cuts an angle into two pieces, the pieces must be equal.

For the second question, the Law of Detachment says if our conditional "if p, then q" is true and p is true, then q must also be true.

For this question, "I can go to the concert if I can afford to buy a ticket" is true as well as "I can go to the concert." This means "I can afford to buy a ticket" must be true as well.
