Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexeev081 [22]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = - 2

an = a1 * r^(n - 1)

a6 = -486

-486 = - 2 * r^(6-1)                      Divide by 2

243 = r^5

The largest value that r could be is 3.

4^5 = 1024

(243)^(1/5) = 3

So the general formula

an = -2*(3)^(n - 1)

The diagonals of a quadrilateral QRST intersect at P(-1,3). QRST has vertices at Q(3,6) and R(-4,5). What must be the coordinate
erica [24]

S = (-5,0)

T = (2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

Q = (3,6) and R = (-4,5). P = (-1,3)

Let S be (a,b) and T be (c,d)

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. so in order to ensure that QRST is a parallelogram, P must be the mid point of the diagonals QS and RT.

Step 2 :

P is the midpoint  of QS

So we have (3+a) ÷ 2 =  -1  and (6 + b) ÷ 2 = 3

=> 3 + a = -2    and 6 + b = 6

=> a = -5  and b =0

So S should be (-5,0)

Step 3 :

P is the midpoint  of RT

So we have (-4+c) ÷ 2 =  -1  and (5 + d) ÷ 2 = 3

=> -4+ c = -2    and 5 + d = 6

=> c = 2  and d =1

So T should be (2,1)

Step 4 :

Answer :

S = (-5,0)

T = (2,1)

2) 17 x 17 = 289
3) 18 x 18 = 324
4) 19 x 19 = 361
the answer is 2 because it's the largest number that is smaller than 300.
