The ratio is common, so you could write:
a1 * r^4 = a^5 (you do r^4 because there are 4 times you need to multiply by the ratio to get from a1 to a5)
Plug in the values:
3 * r^4 = 48
Divide by 3:
r^4 = 16
Take the fourth root of both sides:
r = 2
The common ratio is 2.
Answer:
a+b = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
3(a + b)^2 = 81
(a + b)^2 = 27
a + b = sq rt 27
a + b =
· 
a + b = 3
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
90-49=41
41-3=38
49+(38+3)=90
In order to find b1 from your formula stated we need to do few calculations
A=hb1+hb2, as you wee I multiply h with both bases( b1 and b2)
I will subtract hb2 from both sides
hb1=A-hb2
now I will divide my new expression by h
b1=(A-hb2)/h
