Answer:
r = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of a GP is
= a₁ 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 18 and a₆ = - 
, then
18 
= - ( divide both sides by 18 )
= - 
( take the fifth root of both sides )
r = ![\sqrt[5]{-\frac{1}{243} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B243%7D%20%7D)
= -
Where 1/3 of the 1 section had been painted, have each section have 3 parts. So each complete section will be 3/3. Where there is 4 section with 3 parts each, we have 12 parts. Thus, you painted 1/12 of the fence.
To convert a quadratic<span> from y = ax</span>2<span> + bx + c form to </span>vertex<span> form, y = a(x - h)</span>2+ k, you use the process of completing the square. Let's see an example. Convert y = 2x2<span>- 4x + 5 into </span>vertex<span> form, and state the </span>vertex<span>.</span>
