Answer:

The explicit rule of the geometric sequence

 aₙ   = 187.5 (0.8)ⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em> Step(i):-</em></u>

Given that the third term of the sequence = 120

        tₙ = a rⁿ⁻¹  

       t₃  = a r³⁻¹ = ar²

        120 = ar² ..(i)

Given that the fifth term of the given geometric sequence = 76.8

        tₙ = a rⁿ⁻¹  

       t₅  = a r⁵⁻¹ = a r⁴

   76.8  = a r⁴...(ii)

<u><em>Step(ii):</em></u>-

 Dividing (ii) and (i)

         \frac{ar^{4} }{ar^{2} } = \frac{76.8}{120}

        r²   = 0.64

       r    =√ 0.64 = 0.8

Substitute r= 0.8 in equation (i)

         120 = ar²

       120 = a(0.8)²

⇒      a = \frac{120}{0.64} =187.5

<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>

The explicit rule of the geometric sequence

                 aₙ  = a rⁿ⁻¹

put a= 187.5  and r = 0.8

                aₙ   = 187.5 (0.8)ⁿ⁻¹

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf x = 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

If the given polygon is a regular polygon, its sides are equal.

This means:

x^2+4=x^2+x

Subtract x^2 to both sides

4 = x

OR

x = 4

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!

4.02 Congruent Triangles, doess anyone have tips on how to do this? im getting confused with the SSS, SSA , SAS
Bogdan [553]
SSS is side side side so all the sides have to be congruent for the triangles to be congruent.

SSA is side side angle so two sides and an angle needs to be congruent for the triangles to be congruent.

SAS is side angle side so two sides and an included triangle need to be congruent for the triangles to be congruent.

Hope that helps:)
