Answer: The sequence is geometric
Step-by-step explanation:
In an arithmetic sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common difference and this difference is linear.
Common difference = given term - the term before it
In geometric progression, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio this difference is exponential.
Common ratio = given term/the term before it
Looking at the given sequence,
1) d = 6 - - 2 is not equal to - 18 - 6
Therefore, it is not an arithmetic sequence
2) r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3
Therefore, it is a geometric sequence.
Answer:
no ot is not b/c both would be negative and its not the same points as B
Answer:
x ≈ 4.2 (nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
The chord of length 4 is the base of an isosceles triangle with height of 3.7 and sides equal to the radius (x).
An isosceles triangle comprises two right triangles, each with:
- base = 2 units
- height = 3.7 units
- hypotenuse = x units
Therefore, to find x use Pythagoras' Theorem: a² + b² = c²
(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)
⇒ a² + b² = c²
⇒ 2² + 3.7² = x²
⇒ x² = 17.69
⇒ x = √(17.69)
⇒ x = 4.2 (nearest tenth)
