Compute successive differences of the terms.
If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.
If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.
Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.
Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.
Answer:
3x^2 + 9x + 1
Or
3x ( x + 3 ) + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x - 2 +3x^2 ) + (4x + 3 )
To make this a little bit more easier to read, you can remove the parentheses:
5x - 2 + 3x^2 + 4x + 3
Now, write in a way so that the like terms are next to each other:
3x^2 + 5x + 4x - 2 + 3
Now simplify the 'x' terms to get:
3x^2 + 9x - 2 + 3
Now, simplify the integers (the ones with now variables with them) to get:
3x^2 + 9x + 1
If you want, you can factor out the 3x for two of the terms to get :
3x ( x + 3 ) + 1
Therefore, your simplest form can either be 3x^2 + 9x + 1 OR 3x (x + 3 ) + 1
All you need to do here is know where and how to plug in the numbers. In each equation, you'll have an initial fee, and an hourly fee, so your equation will be
y = i + hx, where i = the initial fee, and h = the hourly fee
So, after plugging them in, here's what you get:
Doors Galore: y = 40 + 50x
G&H: y = 60 + 40x
Answer:
O= 90 because it is a right angle, 360 degrees (which is the whole circle) minus (50+90), equals 220.
Answer: The correct option is (D) 196608.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of the 9th term in the following geometric sequence :
3, 12, 48, 192, . . .
We know that
the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a and common ratio r is given by
For the given sequence, we have
first term, a = 3 and the common ratio, r is given by
Therefore, the 9th term of the given sequence will be
Thus, the required 9th term of the given sequence is 196608.
Option (D) is CORRECT.
