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

Solve x^2+2=6 by graphing the related function.​
never [62]

Answer: option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  a quadratic function of the form ax^2+bx+c, if the coefficient <em>a</em> is less than zero, then the function is opened upward.

The options A is not opened upwards, then it is not the answer.

Then the given equation x^2+2=6 can be written as:

x^2+2-6=0\\x^2-4=0

This function is equal to the parent function, shifted 4 units down.

Therefore, the graph that you are looking for must be a parabola that is opened upwards and has its vertex in the point (0,-4).

Then, the correct option is C. And the solution is:

x=-2\\x=2
