Answer:

The common ratio is -2.5

The next three terms are;

-125, 312.5 and -781.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, firstly we want to determine the common ratio

To

do this, we have to divide the succeeding term by the preceding term

We have this as;

50/-20 = -20/8 = -2.5

Now, to get the next terms,

we multiply the given last term by the common ratio

That will be;

50 * -2.5 = -125

next is to multiply this by the common ratio

That will be;

-125 * -2.5 = 312.5

And lastly, we have

312.5 * -2.5 = -781.25

Find all solutions in the interval (0,2pi) you should get kpi and pi/4 but how do you get there
Ket [755]

Add sin(x) to both sides

tan(x)sin(x)=sin(x)

Divide sin(x) from both sides

tan(x)=1

now you just have to figure out where tan(x)=1. you can figure this out from there by looking at the unit circle.

Drag values to complete each equation.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

1. A. 1

2. D. 17^9

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties used:

  • Power of a Power Property
  • Product Property
  • Quotient Property
  • Zero Exponent Property

1. First, let's deal with the numerator.

(17^3)^6 can be turned into 17^1^8 by using the Power of a Power Property.

And then use the Product Property, (17^1^8)(17^-^1^0) = 17^8

So now, our fraction is this: \frac{17^8}{17^8}

All number over itself in a fraction is equal to 1. But you can also do this the mathmatic way using the Quotient Property: \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^m^-^n or \frac{1}{a^(^n^-^m^)}. Which then you plug the numbers in: \frac{17^8}{17^8} = 17^8^-^8 = 17^0. And since we know that in Zero Exponent Property: a^0 = 1, we can see that 17^0 = 1. So either way, we get 1.

So the answer is 1, which is A

2. Power of a Power Property: (a^m)^n = a^m^n

So plug the numbers in the property: (17^{6}) ^3= 17^1^8

Product Property: (a^m)(a^n) = a^m^+^n

We plug the equation in with (17^{6}) ^3 turned into 17^1^8 ---

(17^1^8)(17^-^9) = 17^1^8^-^9 = 17^9

So the answer is 17^9, which is D

I hope this helps!
