Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

A vertical line doesn't intercept the y-axis, therefore the equation would be x=b in which b is where the line intercepts the x-axis.

Three numbers form a geometric progression. If the second term is increased by 2, then the progression will become arithmetic an
Margaret [11]

The three numbers are 4 , 8 , 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise how to find the nth term of the geometric and the arithmetic progressions

  • The nth term of the geometric sequence is a_{n}=ar^{n-1} , where a is the first term and r is the common ratio between the consecutive terms
  • The nth term of the arithmetic sequence is a_{n}=a+(n-1)d , where a is the first term and d in the common difference between the consecutive terms

∵ Three numbers form a geometric progression

- Assume that the first number is a and the common ratio is r

  and n = 1 , 2 , 3

∴ The three terms are a , ar and ar²

∵ The second term is increased by 2

∴ The three terms are a , ar + 2 , ar²

∵ The three terms formed an arithmetic progression

- The common difference between each two consecutive terms is d

∴ d = ar + 2 - a and d = ar² - (ar + 2)

- Equate the right hand sides of d

∴ ar + 2 - a = ar² - ar - 2

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ ar - a + 4 = ar² - ar

- Subtract ar from both sides

∴ -a + 4 = ar² - 2ar

- Add a to both sides

∴ 4 = ar² - 2ar + a

- Take a as a common factor in the right hand side

∴ 4 = a(r² - 2r + 1)

∵ r² - 2r + 1 = (r - 1)²

∴ 4 = a(r - 1)²

- Divide both sides by (r - 1)²

∴ a=\frac{4}{(r-1)^{2}} ⇒ (1)

∵ The last term is increased by 9

∴ The three terms are a , ar + 2 , ar² + 9

∵ The three terms formed an geometric progression

- Find the common ratio between each two consecutive terms

∵ The common ratio = \frac{ar+2}{a}

∵ The common ratio = \frac{ar^{2}+9}{ar+2}

- Equate the right hand sides of the common ratio

∴ \frac{ar+2}{a}=\frac{ar^{2}+9}{ar+2}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ a(ar² + 9) = (ar + 2)²

- Simplify the two sides

∴ a²r² + 9a = a²r² + 4ar + 4

- Subtract a²r² from both sides

∴ 9a = 4ar + 4

- Subtract 4ar from both sides

∴ 9a - 4ar = 4

- Take a as a common factor from both sides

∴ a(9 - 4r) = 4

- Divide both sides by (9 - 4r)

∴ a=\frac{4}{(9-4r)} ⇒ (2)

Equate the right hand sides of (1) and (2)

∴ \frac{4}{(r-1)^{2}} = \frac{4}{(9-4r)}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 4(r - 1)² = 4(9 - 4r)

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ (r - 1)² = 9 - 4r

- Solve the bracket of the left hand side

∴ r² - 2r + 1 = 9 - 4r

- Add 4r to both sides

∴ r² + 2r + 1 = 9

- Subtract 9 from both sides

∴ r² + 2r - 8 = 0

- Factorize it into 2 factors

∴ (r - 2)(r + 4) = 0

- Equate each factor by 0

∵ r - 2 = 0

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ r = 2

∵ r + 4 = 0

- Subtract 4 from both sides

∴ r = -4 ⇒ rejected

Substitute the value of r in equation (2) to find a

∵ a=\frac{4}{9-4(2)}=\frac{4}{9-8}=\frac{4}{1}

∴ a = 4

∵ The three numbers are a , ar , ar²

∵ a = 4 and r = 2

∴ The numbers are 4 , 4(2) , 4(2)²

∴ The numbers are 4 , 8 , 16

Lets check the answer

4 , 8 + 2 , 16 ⇒ 4 , 10 , 16 formed an arithmetic progression with common difference 6

4 , 10 , 16 + 9 ⇒ 4 , 10 , 25 formed a geometric progression with common ratio 2.5

The three numbers are 4 , 8 , 16

Abigail is putting tiles on a table top. She needs 48 tiles for each of 8 rows. Each row will have 6 white tiles. The rest of th
Zarrin [17]

If there are 8 rows, there would have to be 6 in each row to make 48 (8x6=48).

If there had to be 6 white tiles in each of the 8 rows, than 6 out of 6 tiles would be white.

Therefore there would be 0 purple tiles.
