Find the common ratio by dividing.

16 / 8 = 2

8 / a = 2

2 / b = 2

The common ratio is 2.

Since we need to find the values of a and b, use the common ratio to solve for them.

8 / 2 = 4 (a)

2 / 2 = 1 (b)

Now, we know that first 5 terms.

We can solve for the 8th term using the previous terms and the common ratio.

6th term: 1 / 2 = 0.5

7th term: 0.5 / 2 = 0.25

8th term: 0.25 / 2 = 0.125

Part A: 2

Part B: a = 4, b = 1

Part C: 0.125

Best of Luck!

What is the equation of the coordinate A and B if they are (4,7), (6,3) respectively. What is the equation of the straight line.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: y+2x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two points A and B are (4,7) and (6,3) respectively

Using two-point form

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Putting values

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-7}{x-4}=\dfrac{3-7}{6-4}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-7}{x-4}=\dfrac{-4}{2}=-2\\\\\Rightarrow y-7=-2x+8\\\\\Rightarrow y+2x=15

A hot air balloon hovers 75 feet above the ground. The balloon is tethered to the ground
DIA [1.3K]

Angle of elevation is 37°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

As we have the opposite side 75 ft to the angle and the hypotenuse 125 ft, we can find the sine value as,

sin θ = opp/ hyp

       = 75/125

     = 0.6

θ = sin⁻¹ (0.6) = 36.9°≈ 37°

So angle of elevation is 37°.
