the 2nd term in a geometric sequence is 20 the 4th term in the same sequence is 45/4 or 11.25 what is the common ratio?

lbvjy [14]

Let x be the common ratio and y be the 3rd term

11.25/x=y This means the fourth term divided by the common ratio will get the third term
20x=y This means the second term multiplied by the common ratio will get the third term

11.25/x=20x Set the two y's equal to each other, and solve for x!
20x^2=11.25
x^2=.5625
x=+-√.5625
x=.75 or -.75

Combine as indicated by the signs. 4/ y^2-9 + 5/y+3

natka813 [3]

$\frac{4}{y^{2}-9 } + \frac{5}{y+3} = \frac{4}{(y-3)(y+3) } + \frac{5}{y+3}= \frac{4}{(y-3)(y+3) } + \frac{5(y-3)}{(y-3)(y+3)}=
\\ \\=\frac{4}{(y-3)(y+3) } + \frac{5y-15}{(y-3)(y+3)}= \frac{5y-11}{(y-3)(y+3)}=\frac{5y-11}{y^{2}-9}
