The terms of an arithmetic progression, can form consecutive terms of a geometric progression.

  • The common ratio is: \mathbf{r = \frac{a + 5d}{a + d}}
  • The general term of the GP is: \mathbf{a_n = (a + d) \times (\frac{a + 5d}{a + d})^{n-1}}

The nth term of an AP is:

\mathbf{T_n = a + (n - 1)d}

So, the <em>2nd, 6th and 8th terms </em>of the AP are:

\mathbf{T_2 = a + d}

\mathbf{T_6 = a + 5d}

\mathbf{T_8 = a + 7d}

The <em>first, second and third terms </em>of the GP would be:

\mathbf{a_1 = a + d}

\mathbf{a_2 = a + 5d}

\mathbf{a_3 = a + 7d}

The common ratio (r) is calculated as:

\mathbf{r = \frac{a_2}{a_1}}

This gives

\mathbf{r = \frac{a + 5d}{a + d}}

The nth term of a GP is calculated using:

\mathbf{a_n = a_1r^{n-1}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{a_n = (a + d) \times (\frac{a + 5d}{a + d})^{n-1}}

What are the points for y=-3x+4 and how do I graph it
mestny [16]

Answer:

(-3,13) (-2,10) (-1,7) (0,4) (1,1) (2,-2) (3,5) (4,8)  are your graph points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so to find the points, you have to create a table graph with a set of x values.

in this case, your equation y=-3x+4 the x can be replace with a set of numbers and these will be your plots.

-3(-3)+4= 13

-3(-2)+4= 10

-3(-1)+4= 7

-3(0)+4= 4

-3(1)+4= 1

-3(2)+4= -2

-3(3)+4= -5

-3(4)+4= -8

Naturally with these points a shape will form ideally a straight line. Hopefully this helps and good luck!

A gardener weeds 2/3 of a flower bed in 6 min.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
So,

To find how much the gardener weeded in one minute, we multiply the fraction by one sixth.

\frac{2}{3} *  \frac{1}{6} =  \frac{2}{18} or  \frac{1}{9}

In decimal form, it would be .11111111111111111111
