Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of terms that are two terms apart (s4 and s6) is the square of the common ratio:
s6/s4 = r^2
r = √(8/18)
r = 2/3 . . . . . matches choices A and C
__
Using the formula for the general term, we now know enough to find the first term:
sn = s1·r^(n-1)
s4 = s1·(2/3)^(4-1)
Using s4 = 18 and multiplying by (2/3)^-3, we get ...
18·(2/3)^-3 = s1 = 18·27/8
s1 = 243/4 . . . . . matches choice A
Given:
Christopher scores 2 goals in a soccer game.
His goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal.
To find:
The absolute value equation can be used to calculate Christopher's maximum and minimum goals per game.
Solution:
Let Christopher scores x goals in a soccer game.
Then difference between actual goals and average goals is x-2.
His goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal.
Maximum number of goals = 2+1 = 3
Minimum number of goals = 2-1 = 1
It means, the difference between actual goals and average goals is either -1 and 1.
...(1)
...(2)
Using (1) and (2),we get
Therefore, the correct option is C.
