Answer:

the common ratio is either 2 or -2.

the sum of the first 7 terms is then either 765 or 255

Step-by-step explanation:

a geometric sequence or series of progression (these are the most common names for the same thing) means that every new term of the sequence is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor which is called the common ratio.

so,

a1

a2 = a1×f

a3 = a2×f = a1×f²

a4 = a3×f = a1×f³

the problem description here tells us

a3 = 4×a1

and from above we know a3 = a1×f².

so, f² = 4

and therefore the common ratio = f = 2 or -2 (we need to keep that in mind).

again, the problem description tells us

a2 + a4 = 30

a1×f + a1×f³ = 30

for f = 2

a1×2 + a1×2³ = 30

2a1 + 8a1 = 30

10a1 = 30

a1 = 3

for f = -2

a1×-2 + a1×(-2)³ = 30

-10a1 = 30

a1 = -3

the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is

sn = a1×(1 - f^(n+1))/(1-f) for f <>1

so, for f = 2

s7 = 3×(1 - 2⁸)/(1-2) = 3×-255/-1 = 3×255 = 765

for f = -2

s7 = -3×(1 - (-2)⁸)/(1 - -2) = -3×(1-256)/3 = -3×-255/3 =

= -1×-255 = 255

Half a number increased by 15 is equal to the sum of 5 and the product of 3 and the number.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

(x/2) + 15 = 5 + 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Follow the steps in the equation. X is your number. First you halve it, then you add 15. Next, set it equal to the other side. The second side is 5 + (because it is the sum) and 3x (the product of 3 and x means multiply them)

Which best explains why the rotation represents an
Alinara [238K]

The best explanation for why the rotation is isometric is "<u>The rectangle did not change shape or size</u>". Hence the <u>second option</u> is the right choice.

There are four main categories of transformations:

  1. Translation (figure slides in any direction)
  2. Reflection (figure flips over a line)
  3. Rotation (figure turns about a fixed point)
  4. Dilation (the figure is enlarged or reduced)

A stiff transformation known as an isometry maintains perimeter and area while also preserving length and angle measurements. In other words, there is congruence between the preimage and the image. Translations, reflections, and rotations are therefore isometric, but dilations are not since the image and preimage are comparable, rather than congruent figures.

The transformation in the question will be isometric when the preimage of the rectangle before 360° rotation, will be congruent to the image after the rotation.

The congruency is best described by the option "The rectangle did not change shape or size", as that is the basis of congruency.

Thus, the best explanation for why the rotation is isometric is "<u>The rectangle did not change shape or size</u>". Hence the <u>second option</u> is the right choice.
