Answer:

Choice D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The eccentricity of the conic section is 1, implying we are looking at a parabola. Parabolas are the only conic sections with an eccentricity of 1.

Next, the directrix of this parabola is located at x = 4. This implies that the parabola opens towards the left and thus the denominator of its polar equation contains a positive cosine function.

Finally, the value of k in the numerator is simply the product of the eccentricity and the absolute value of the directrix;

k = 1*4 = 4

This polar equation is given by alternative D

The 21st, 37th and 56th term of an A.P. are consecutive terms of a G.P. Find the common ratio of the G.P.​
mash [69]

just use what you know about this stuff

(a+36d)/(a+20d) = (a+55d)/(a+36d)

(a+36d)^2 = (a+55d)(a+20d)

a^2+72ad+1296d^2 = a^2+75ad+1100d^2

3ad = 196d^2

3a = 196d

That is, for any value of n,

a=196n

d=3n

So, there is no unique solution.

If n=1, then a=196 and d=3. The terms are

196+20*3 = 256

196+36*3 = 304

196+55*3 = 361

304/256 = 361/304

You can easily verify that it works for any value of n.
