Is -2, -12, -60, -120 a geometric sequence?

Mathematics
1 answer:
nlexa [21]3 years ago
7 0

given,

1st term(a)= -2

2nd term (t2) =-12

3rd term (t3) =-60

4th term(t4)= -120

here common ratio (r)=t2/t1=t4/t3

or, -12/-2= -120/-60

or,6=2

hence,no -12, -60, -120 aren't in a geometric sequence because their common ratio aren't same.

ABC and EDC are straight lines. EA is parallel to DB. EC = 8.1 cm. DC = 5.4 cm. DB = 2.6 cm. (a) Work out the length of AE. cm (
harkovskaia [24]

By applying the knowledge of similar triangles, the lengths of AE and AB are:

a. \mathbf{AE = 3.9 $ cm}\\\\

b. \mathbf{AB = 2.05 $ cm} \\\\

<em>See the image in the attachment for the referred diagram.</em>

<em />

  • The two triangles, triangle AEC and triangle BDC are similar triangles.
  • Therefore, the ratio of the corresponding sides of triangles AEC and BDC will be the same.

<em>This implies that</em>:

  • AC/BC = EC/DC = AE/DB

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

EC = 8.1 $ cm\\\\DC = 5.4 $ cm\\\\DB = 2.6 cm\\\\AC = 6.15 $ cm

<u>a. </u><u>Find the length of </u><u>AE</u><u>:</u>

EC/DC = AE/DB

  • Plug in the values

\frac{8.1}{5.4} = \frac{AE}{2.6}

  • Cross multiply

5.4 \times AE = 8.1 \times 2.6\\\\5.4 \times AE = 21.06

  • Divide both sides by 5.4

AE = \frac{21.06}{5.4} = 3.9 $ cm

<u>b. </u><u>Find the length of </u><u>AB:</u>

AB = AC - BC

AC = 6.15 cm

To find BC, use AC/BC = EC/DC.

  • Plug in the values

\frac{6.15}{BC} = \frac{8.1}{5.4}

  • Cross multiply

BC \times 8.1 = 6.15 \times 5.4\\\\BC = \frac{6.15 \times 5.4}{8.1} \\\\BC = 4.1

  • Thus:

AB = AC - BC

  • Substitute

AB = 6.15 - 4.1\\\\AB = 2.05 $ cm

Therefore, by applying the knowledge of similar triangles, the lengths of AE and AB are:

a. \mathbf{AE = 3.9 $ cm}\\\\

b. \mathbf{AB = 2.05 $ cm} \\\\

The nth term of a sequence is 3n + 2
gavmur [86]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the first 3 terms substitute n = 1, 2, 3 into the n th term rule

a_{1} = (3 × 1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

a_{2} = (3 × 2) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8

a_{3} = (3 × 3) + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11

------------------------------------------------------------------

substitute n = 10 into the n th term rule

a_{10} = (3 × 10) + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32

The graph of the function f(x)=|3x| is translated 4 units up.
siniylev [52]
Translating a graph upwards just means adding or subtracting a value from the initial function.

So to push a graph up, you just add (+) the number of units onto the original function.
