Because x,y,z form a geometric sequence, therefore the common ratio is
r = y/x = z/y
That is,
y² = xz (1)
We are given:
x + y + z = 18
Therefore
x + z = 18 - y (2)
Also,
x² + y² + z² = 612
Therefore, from (1), obtain
x² + z² + xz = 612
(x + z)² - xz = 612
From (1) and (2), obtain
(18 - y)² - y² = 612
324 - 36y + y² - y² = 612
-36y = 288
y = -8
Answer: y = -8
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have the following parent function given in the problem above:
2. And you have the function 
3. By definition, if you have the function 
and 
it is a vertical stretch.
4. Therefore, you have that:
Therefore the answer is: It is a vertical stretch.
All you need is the definition of conditional probability:
So
and the answer would be B.
Answer:
ASA
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that the triangle has at least one similar side and one similar angle. We can also see that the triangles meet at a point, so they must have the same angle at that point where they connect. So that leads us to our answer being ASA since they have two similar angles and one similar side. This is the answer that I think is correct just by looking at the image. I haven't take this class since last year, so this is simply from memory. Correct me if I am wrong!
