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

Find the center and radius for the circle, given the equation: x^2-14x+y^2+8=16
Strike441 [17]
You can do this by completing the square

x^2 - 14x + y^2 + 8  = 16

(x - 7)^2 - 49 + (y + 4)^2 - 16  = 16

(x - 7)^2 + (y + 4)^2 =   16 + 16 + 49  =  81


so the center is at (7 , -4) and radius = sqrt81 = 9

The area of a garden is 8 3/4 square yards. If the lenght is 1 1/4 yards , what is the length?​
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The Missing Length = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: side length x side length = area

  • This means that if you divide the area by one of the side lengths, you'll find the other

1.  Convert the numbers into decimals

  • 8 3/4 -  8.75 (area)
  • 1 1/4  = 1.25 (side length)

2. Divide the <u>area</u> by the <u>side length</u>

  • 8.75 ÷ 1.25 = <u>7</u>

<u></u>

<u>7</u> is the answer.

The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 20%, resulting in triangle ABC. If the length of each side of
kompoz [17]

Answer: Area of ΔABC is 2.25x the area of ΔDEF.

Step-by-step explanation: Because equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides, area is calculated as

A=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}

with a as side of the triangle.

Triangle ABC is 20% bigger than the original, which means its side (a₁) measures, compared to the original:

a₁ = 1.2a

Then, its area is

A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(1.2a)^{2}

A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}1.44a^{2}

Triangle DEF is 20% smaller than the original, which means its side is:

a₂ = 0.8a

So, area is

A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.8a)^{2}

A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} 0.64a^{2}

Now, comparing areas:

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}= (\frac{\sqrt{3}.1.44a^{2} }{4})(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}.0.64a^{2} } )

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} = 2.25

<u>The area of ΔABC is </u><u>2.25x</u><u> greater than the area of ΔDEF.</u>
