You're looking for a number <em>w</em> such that the numbers

{1 + <em>w</em>, 7 + <em>w</em>, 15 + <em>w</em>}

form a geometric sequence, which in turn means there is a constant <em>r</em> for which

7 + <em>w</em> = <em>r</em> (1 + <em>w</em>)

15 + <em>w</em> = <em>r</em> (7 + <em>w</em>)

Solving for <em>r</em>, we get

<em>r</em> = (7 + <em>w</em>) / (1 + <em>w</em>) = (15 + <em>w</em>) / (7 + <em>w</em>)

Solve this for <em>w</em> :

(7 + <em>w</em>)² = (15 + <em>w</em>) (1 + <em>w</em>)

49 + 14<em>w</em> + <em>w</em> ² = 15 + 16<em>w</em> + <em>w</em> ²

2<em>w</em> = 34

<em>w</em> = 17

Then the three terms in the sequence are

{18, 24, 32}

and indeed we have 24/18 = 4/3 and 32/24 = 4/3.

[100 POINTS] Find the values of x, y, and z.
Tom [10]

Answer:

∡x = 20°

∡y = 160°

∠z = 160°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a straight line sum to 180°

⇒ ∠z + 20° = 180°

⇒ ∠z = 180° - 20°

⇒ ∠z = 160°

The central angle measure equals the corresponding arc measure.

⇒ ∡x = 20°

⇒ ∡y = ∠z = 160°

Find the volume of the cylinder
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2 h

We know the radius is 9 and the height is 20

V = pi  ( 9)^2 ( 20)

V = 1620 pi

If we approximate pi by 3.14

V =5086.80 cm^3

If we approximate pi by pi button

V =5089.3800099 cm^3
