-4 is also a geometric mean
if we consider a(first element in series)=1 and r(common ratio)=-4 then the series would be
1,-4,16,-64,256,…..,a(-4)^(n-1 )
where n is nth term
from this -4 would be the geometric mean if we consider -4 as common ratio .
If we consider 4 as common ratio then geometric mean should be 4
so you should mention whether common ratio >0 or not (r>0 or not) .
[without ‘r’ value you can’t solve the question but in general most of the teachers will consider r>0.]
So, -4 won’t be geometric mean of 1 & 16
The statement above is true. Polar equations indeed can describe graphs as functions, even if when the equations in the rectangular coordinate system are not one of the functions. Polar equations can be graphed accurately using hands by using the Polar Coordinate System.
the rate of change is -2 for every set shown in the chart on the right
so 6 to 7 would be -11 -2 = -13
7 to 8 would be -13-2 = -15
8 to 9 = -15-2 = -17
B is the answer
Type of lines ? Not the best question.
Answer: Perpendicular, first choice
The little 90 degree angle indicator at the intersection marks these lines as meeting at a right angle, which is called perpendicular.
