Answer:

-0.329

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Geometric ratio is

an = ar^n - 1

Where

a = First term = 18

r = Common ratio = ?

n = Number of term= 6

Hence

a6 = 18 × r^6-1

From the question

a6 = -2/29

Hence:

-2/29 = 18 × r^6-1

-2/29 = 18 × r⁵

Divide both sides by 18

-2/29 ÷ 18 = 18 × r⁵/18

-2/29 × 1/18 = r⁵

r⁵ = -1/261

Take the fifth root of both sides

⁵√(r⁵) = ⁵√(-1/261)

r = -0.3286032834

Approximately = -0.329

Therefore, Common ratio = -0.329

Kendra used these steps to solve the equation 2x + 5 = 3 + 2(x + 1). Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 5 = 5?
alekssr [168]
The answer is A.
 If a redundant conclusion is reached in basic algebra this states that the variable holds all possible real values. 
If you algebraically solve Kendra's you do achieve the true statement 5 = 5 (leaving out D). And if you test any value of x for the equation it does hold true (getting rid of B). 
Hopefully this makes sense.

Solve the exponential equations: 2^3x =11
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 3x = 11

3x = 11 - 2

3x = 9 (divide both sides by 3 to get x)

3x/3 = 9/3

x = 3
