Part A
The first thing we must do in this case is to hide the slopes of each line.
line m:
m = (- 4-3) / (0 - (- 4))
m = -7 / 4
Line n:
n = (- 2-2) / (3-1)
n = -4 / 2
n = -2
Answer:
Lines m and n are not parallel because their slopes are different.
Part B:
We look for the slope of the K line:
k = (1 - (- 3)) / (4 - (- 3))
k = 4/7
We observe that it is true that:
k = -1 / m
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular.
F(x) = x² + x - 20 = x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = x(x + 5) - 4(x + 5) = (x + 5)(x - 4)
f(x) = 0 ⇔ (x + 5)(x - 4) = 0 ⇔ x + 5 = 0 or x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -5 or x = 4
Answer: C. x = -5 and x = 4.
Answer: The sequence does not have common ratio.
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, a sequence with a constant ratio (common ratio) between terms is called a "Geometric sequence". In order to find the common ratio, it is necessary to divide any term in the sequence by the previous term.
In this case, given the sequence:

We get:

Since the ratios between the terms are not constant, we can conclude that <em>the sequence does not have common ratio.</em>
