Which is ordered in ascending order

To do this, it is best to convert the fractions to decimal and then make comparison.

From the options, only (b) is ordered in ascending order and the proof is as follows.

$\{\frac{1}{8},\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2}\}$

Convert to decimals

$\{0.125, 0.25, 0.5\}$

By comparison:

$0.125< 0.25< 0.5$

Hence, (b) is ordered from least to greatest

Which of the following are examples of a geometric sequence? Select any and all that apply: may be more than one correct answer.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

( 1 , -2 , 4 , -8 , 16 , ... )

( 9 , 3 , 1 , 1/3 , 1/9 , ... )

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence has a common ratio in consecutive terms,

In sequence,

$1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{6},\frac{1}{24},\frac{1}{120}.....$

$\frac{1/2}{1}\neq \frac{1/6}{1/2}\neq \frac{1/24}{1/6}\neq \frac{1/120}{1/24}...$

i.e.

$1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{6},\frac{1}{24},\frac{1}{120}.....$ is not a Geometric sequence,

1 , -2 , 3 , -4 , 5 , ...

$\frac{-2}{1}\neq \frac{3}{-2}\neq \frac{-4}{3}\neq \frac{5}{-4}...$

i.e. 1 , -2 , 3 , -4 , 5 , ... is not a Geometric sequence,

In sequence,

1 , -2 , 4 , -8 , 16 , ...

$\frac{-2}{1}=\frac{4}{-2}= \frac{-8}{4}= \frac{16}{-8}...$

i.e. 1 , -2 , 4 , -8 , 16 , .... is a Geometric sequence,

In sequence,

0 , 1 , 0 , -1 , 0 , .....

$\frac{1}{0}\neq \frac{0}{1}\neq \frac{-1}{0}\neq \frac{0}{-1}...$

i.e. 0 , 1 , 0 , -1 , 0 , .....is not a Geometric sequence,

In sequence,

9 , 3 , 1 , 1/3 , 1/9 , ...

$\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}= \frac{1/3}{1}= \frac{1/9}{1/3}...$

i.e. 9 , 3 , 1 , 1/3 , 1/9 , ... is a Geometric sequence,

In sequence,

1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , ...

$\frac{3}{1}\neq \frac{5}{3}\neq \frac{7}{5}\neq \frac{9}{7}...$

i.e. 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , ... is not a Geometric sequence

The center of a circle is (4, 6), and an endpoint of a diameter is (2, 5). What is the other endpoint of the diameter?

valentinak56 [21]

Consider this option:
1. if the point (4;6) is the centre of the circle and the point (2;5) is the first endpoint of its diameter, then point (4;6) is the middle point of the diameter (it means that is the middle between the 1st and the 2d endpoints of diameter).
2. using the property described above:
for x of the 2d endpoint of the diameter: x=4*2-2=6;
for y of the 2d endpoint of the diameter: y=6*2-5=7.

answer: (6;7)

Solve the equation using square roots. 2x^2-98=0

Yuliya22 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²-98=0

2x²=98

x²=98/2

x²=49

x=root 49

so,x=7
