We have that
<span>2/5 , -4/15 , 8/45 , -4/15 , -8/45

we know that
 
</span><span>A geometric sequence is defined by   
a(n + 1) = r*a(n)
so
r = a(n + 1) / a(n)</span>

Let
a1=2/5
a2=-4/15
a3=8/45

a2/a1=(-4/15)/(2/5)=-20/30------> -2/3
a3/a2=(8/45)/(-4/15)=-20/30------> -30/45--------> -2/3

<span>the common ratio is
</span>r=-2/3
calculate
a4=r*a3---------> (-2/3)*8/45-----> -16/135
a5=r*a4--------> (-2/3)*(-16/135)-----> 32/405

the correct geometric sequence is 
2/5 , -4/15 , 8/45 , -16/135 , 32/405, .....

the answer is
the common ratio is r=-2/3

Combine 2y+1x=40 and y=2x using substitution
fomenos

2(2x) + 1x = 40 or 4x + 1x = 40 is the result of combining by substitution

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to combine 2y + 1x = 40 and y = 2x using substitution method

The substitution method for solving systems of equations involves expressing one variable in terms of another, thus removing one variable from an equation.

<em><u>Given equations are:</u></em>

2y + 1x = 40 -------- eqn 1

y = 2x ----------- eqn 2

We can substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

Which means, substitute y = 2x in place of y in eqn 1

2(2x) + 1x = 40

4x + 1x = 40

5x = 40

x = 8

From eqn 2,

y = 2(8)

y = 16

Thus by combining using substitution method we found the solution

Classify the following triangle. Check all that apply
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The triangle is obtuse, and isosceles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is obtuse because there is an angle above 90 degrees, which  is 104 degrees. The triangle is also isosceles due to the two lines in the triangle which indicate that the size of each side are equal to each other. For a triangle to be isosceles, there have to be at least two sides equal to each other, and in this case the triangle has those two equal sides.
