Note: The third term of the sequence should be 
instead of 
, otherwise the sequence has no common ratio.
Given:
The given sequence is
To find:
The common ratio of the given sequence.
Solution:
The quotient of each pair of consecutive terms are:
Similarly,
And,
Therefore, the common ratio of the given sequence is 
or 0.75.
Answer:
L = (x - 2) meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the rectangle = (x² - 7x + 10) m²
The width = (x - 5) m
length = ?
Area of a rectangle = length × width
x² - 7x + 10 = L(x -5)
note L = length
divide both sides by (x-5)
(x² - 7x + 10)/(x - 5) = L
L = x² - 7x + 10 / (x -5)
Factorize x² - 7x + 10
find the numbers you can multiply to give you 10 and also add to give you -7
The numbers are -2 and -5. Therefore,
x² - 2x - 5x + 10 = 0
x(x - 2) - 5(x - 2) = 0
(x-5)(x-2) = 0
Let us go back to our division
L = x² - 7x + 10 / (x -5)
x² - 7x + 10 = (x-5)(x-2)
L = (x-5)(x-2) / (x -5)
L = (x - 2) meters
Answer:
21.4m
Step-by-step explanation:
Circumference : x diameter
is approximately 3.142
3.142 x 6.8 = 21.3656
Nearest tenth = 21.4m
Answer:
D one real solution
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 0
This is in the form
ax^2 +bx + c = 0
so we can use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions
b^2 -4ac
(-8)^2 -4(1)(16)
64 - 64
0
Since the discriminant is zero, there is one real solution.
