Answer:

Geometric sequence

.Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequences are defined by an initial value and a common ratio . If a sequence does not have a common ratio or a common difference, it is neither an arithmetic nor a geometric sequence. You should still try to figure out the pattern and come up with a formula that describes it.

Write the equation of the conic section satisfying the given conditions. focus at the pole, e = 3/4, horizontal directrix 2 unit

hjlf

Answer:

The equation in the polar form is;

$r = \dfrac{6}{4 + 3 \cdot sin(\theta)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

e = 3/4 > 1, we have an hyperbola

The polar equation of a conic is of the form;

For vertical directrix

$r = \dfrac{k \cdot e}{1\pm e \cdot cos (\theta)}$

For horizontal directrix

$r = \dfrac{k \cdot e}{1\pm e \cdot sin(\theta)}$

Where;

k = Distance from the focus to the directrix = 2

We have;

$r = \dfrac{2 \cdot \dfrac{3}{4} }{1 + \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot sin(\theta)}$

$r = \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{2} }{1 + \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot sin(\theta)}$

Which gives the equation in the polar form as follows;

$r = \dfrac{6}{4 + 3 \cdot sin(\theta)}$ .

Xavier, Yvonne, and Zelda each try independently to solve a problem. If their individual probabilities for success are 1/4, 1/2

siniylev [52]

Answer: The probability that Xavier and Yvonne can solve a problem but Zelda cannot is $\frac{3}{64}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Probability of success of Xavier, $P(S)_{Xavier}=\frac{1}{4}$

Probability of failure of Xavier, $P(F)_{Xavier}=1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

Probability of success of Yvonne, $P(S)_{Yvonne}=\frac{1}{2}$

Probability of failure of Yvonne, $P(F)_{Yvonne}=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Probability of success of Zelda, $P(S)_{Zelda}=\frac{5}{8}$

Probability of failure of Zelda, $P(F)_{Zelda}=1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8}$

We need to calculate:

The probability that Xavier and Yvonne can solve the problem but Zelda cannot, we use:

$P(S)_{Xavier}\times P(S)_{Yvonne}\times P(F)_{Zelda}=\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{8}=\frac{3}{64}$

Hence, the probability that Xavier and Yvonne can solve a problem but Zelda cannot is $\frac{3}{64}$

A) Measure of Angle L is 67.5. Angle F & Angle L are alternate interior angles.

b) Measure of Angle E is 112.5, because we know that F and H are vertical angles, so therefore they’re congruent. We also know H and E are adjacent, so H + E = 180.

c) Angles E and K are alternate exterior angles. Measure of Angle K is 112.5.

d) Measure of Angle H is 67.5, because we know that Angle F, which is vertical to Angle H, is 67.5. Vertical angles are congruent.

e) Measure of Angle I is 112.5, because Angle I and Angle K are vertical angles.

f) They’re corresponding angles.
