If these are terms of a geometric sequence, they have a common ratio. That is, ...
... (k -1)/(2(1 -k)) = (k +8)/(k -1)
... (k -1)² = 2(1 -k)(k +8) . . . . . multiply by the product of the denominators.
... k² -2k +1 = -2k² -14k +16 . . . eliminate parentheses
... 3k² +12k -15 = 0 . . . . . . . . put in standard form (subtract the right side)
... 3(k +5)(k -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor
Possible values of k are ... -5, +1. The solution k=1 is extraneous, as it makes the first two terms 0 and the third term 8. (It doesn't work.)
The value of k is -5.
_____
The three terms are 12, -6, 3. The common ratio is -1/2.
Answer:
16 (The last one)
Step-by-step explanation:
All of them equal 1/16 OTHER than the last one.
18(x)=100×43.
18(x)=4300.
Now divide both sides by 18. The number is x=238<span>.</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
soln:
let,
(x1,y1) =(2,4)
(x2,y2)=2,-7)
Now,
By midpoint formula,
×= <u>x</u><u>1</u><u>+</u><u>x</u><u>2</u>
2
= <u>2</u><u>+</u><u>2</u>
2
=<u>4</u>
2
=2,,
And,
Y=<u>y</u><u>1</u><u>+</u><u>y</u><u>2</u>
2
=<u>4</u><u>-</u><u>7</u>
2
= <u>-</u><u>3</u>
2
Hence ,
The mispoint between points (2,4) and (2,-7) is (2,<u>-</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u>)</u>

Answer:
4x - 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms (those with the same amount of variables:
x + x + x + x = 4x
4x - 20 => Note: You cannot combine these two terms, because they do not have the same amount of variables (one having one variable (x), the other being a constant (no variable) ).
