Since it is a geometric sequence each term will be a specific multiple of the term preceding it, called the common ratio...
126/42=378/126=1134/378=3
The sequence is a(n)=a(3)^(n-1) and we know the second term is 42 so:
42=a(3)^(2-1)
42=3a
a=14
So the first term is 14.
Answer:
D but see below.
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be factored if you are allowed to use square roots.
(p + 5√5)(p - 5√5)
Usually, you are not allowed to do that. Usually you must be working with whole numbers or rational well behaved fractions.
I think, given the above comment, the answer is D
We have that
<span>Circle 1: center (8, 5) and radius 6
</span><span>Circle 2: center (−2, 1) and radius 2
we know that
the equation of a circle is
(x-h)</span>²+(y-k)²=r²
for the circle 1---------> (x-8)²+(y-5)²=36
for the circle 2---------> (x+2)²+(y-1)²=4
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
Part A)<span>What transformations can be applied to Circle 1 to prove that the circles are similar?
we know that
r1/r2---------> 6/2------> 3
</span><span>
to prove that the circle 1 and circle 2 are similar, the radius of circle 1 </span>must be divided by 3 and translate the center of the circle 1 (10) units to the left and (4) units down
<span>
the answer part A) is
</span>
the radius of circle 1 must be divided by 3 and translate the center of the circle 1 (10) units to the left and (4) units down
Part B) <span>What scale factor does the dilation from Circle 1 to Circle 2 have?
the answer Part B) is
the scale factor is (3/1)</span>
Consider right triangle ΔABC with legs AC and BC and hypotenuse AB. Draw the altitude CD.
1. Theorem: The length of each leg of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to that leg.
According to this theorem,

Let BC=x cm, then AD=BC=x cm and BD=AB-AD=3-x cm. Then

Take positive value x. You get

2. According to the previous theorem,

Then

Answer: 
This solution doesn't need CD=2 cm. Note that if AB=3cm and CD=2cm, then

This means that you cannot find solutions of this equation. Then CD≠2 cm.
