Hence,

a. 12, 144, 1728,..  => Geometric

b. 0,5, 10, 15, 20, 25,...  => Arithmetic

c. 0,4, 16, 36, 64,...  => Neither arithmetic nor geometric

d. 1.5, 2.25, 3.375, 5.0625,... => Geometric

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to identify the sequence as geometric or arithmetic sequence, we find the common difference and common ratio of the sequence. If the common difference is same, it is an arithmetic sequence and if the common ratio is same the sequence is a geometric sequence

Common difference is the difference between consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence and common ration is the ratio between two consecutive terms of a sequence

So,

<u>a. 12, 144, 1728,..</u>

Here,

a_1=12\\a_2=144\\a_2=1728

Common difference:

d=a_2-a_1 = 144-12 = 132\\=a_3-a_2 = 1728-144=1584

Common Ratio:

r=\frac{a_2}{a_1} =\frac{144}{12} = 12\\=\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{1728}{144} =12

As the common ratio is same, the given sequence is a geometric sequence.

<u></u>

<u>b. 0,5, 10, 15, 20, 25,...</u>

Here,

a_1 = 0\\a_2 =5\\a_3 =10

Common difference:

d=a_2-a_1 = 5-0 = 5\\d=a_3-a_2 = 10-5 = 5

As the common difference is same, the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence

<u></u>

<u>c. 0,4, 16, 36, 64,...</u>

Here

a_1 = 0\\a_2 =4\\a_3 = 16\\a_4 = 36

Common Difference:

d= a_2-a_1 = 4-0 = 4\\a_3-a_2 = 16-4 = 12

<u></u>

Common Ratio:

r=\frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{4}{0} = Doesn't\ exist

Neither the common ratio nor common difference are same, so the given sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric

<u>d. 1.5, 2.25, 3.375, 5.0625,...</u>

Here

a_1 = 1.5\\a_2 = 2.25\\a_3 = 3.375

<u></u>

Common Difference:

d=a_2-a_1 = 2.25-1.5 = 0.75\\a_3-a_2 =3.375-2.25 = 1.125[/tex]Common Ratio: [tex]r=\frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{2.25}{1.5}=1.5\\=\frac{a_3}{a_2} =\frac{3.375}{2.25}=1.5

As the common ratio is same, given sequence is geometric

Hence,

a. 12, 144, 1728,..  => Geometric

b. 0,5, 10, 15, 20, 25,...  => Arithmetic

c. 0,4, 16, 36, 64,...  => Neither arithmetic nor geometric

d. 1.5, 2.25, 3.375, 5.0625,... => Geometric

9. Convert 10,000 seconds into<br> hours
arlik [135]

Answer: 2.7777 hours

Step-by-step explanation: Here, we're asked to convert 10,000 seconds into hours.

Unfortunately, we don't have a conversion factor for seconds and hours. However, we know that 60 seconds = 1 minute and 60 minutes = 1 hour.

So we can convert 10,000 seconds into hours by using both of these conversion factors. Also, it's important to understand that when we go from a smaller unit, seconds, to a larger unit, hours, we divide.

So let's first convert 10,000 seconds into minutes by dividing 10,000 by the conversion factor, 60, to get 166.6666 minutes.

Next, we convert minutes to hours by dividing 166.6666 by the conversion factor, 60, to get 2.7777 hours.

So 10,000 seconds is approximately equal to 2.7777 hours.

Find w.<br><br> A. 8.9<br><br> B. 0.05<br><br> C. 0.08<br><br> D. 5.2
enyata [817]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of angle V = 180 - 62 - 36 = 82 degrees

So by the law of sines, 10/sin(82 deg) = w/sin(62 deg)

w = [10sin(62)]/sin(82)

from here just plug this into a calculator

The fraction models below represent two fractions of the same whole. How much of the Fraction 5 over 8 is in the Fraction 1 over
IrinaVladis [17]

To find how much of 5/8 is you would need to divide 1/2 by 5/8:

X = (1/2) / (5/8)

When dividing fractions, you reverse the second fraction and multiply:

X = (1/2) x (8/5)

X = 8/10

Simplify:

X = 4/5
