Find the common ratio of the sequence -172, -86, -43, -21.5

1 answer:

6 0

Common ratio means that you will be multiplying from the first number to get the second number.
To find the ratio we will work backwards, from right to left, and divide instead of multiply.
-43/-21.5 = 1/2
-86/-43= 1/2
-182/-86 = 1/2
r = 1/2

enyata [817]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression $3\left(q+\dfrac43\right) = 23$ , we are to find the value of q;

$3\left(q+\dfrac43\right) = 23\\on\ expansion\\\\3q + 4/3(3) = 23\\\\3q+4 = 23\\\\subtract \ 4\ from \ both\ sides \ of \ the \ equation\\\\3q+4-4 = 23-4\\\\3q = 19\\\\Diviide \both\ sides \ by \ 3\\\\3q/3 = 19/3\\\\q = 19/3$
