Answers:

  1. Not geometric
  2. Geometric

==================================================

Explanation for problem 1

Divide each term over its previous term.

  • term2/term1 = 48/60 = 0.8
  • term3/term2 = 36/48 = 0.75

We can stop here. The two results 0.8 and 0.75 do not match up, so we don't have a common ratio. Therefore, this sequence is <u>not</u> geometric. A geometric sequence must have each ratio of adjacent terms to be the same value throughout the list of numbers.

Side note: This sequence is arithmetic because we are subtracting the same amount each time (12) to generate each new term.

--------------------------------------

Explanation for problem 2

Like before, we'll divide each term by its previous term.

  • term2/term1 = 6/3 = 2
  • term3/term2 = 12/6 = 2
  • term4/term3 = 24/12 = 2
  • term5/term4 = 48/24 = 2

Each ratio found was 2. This is the common ratio and it shows we have a geometric sequence. It indicates that each term is twice that of its previous term. Eg: the jump from 12 to 24 is "times 2".

Lois jumped 270 times in 6 hours. At that rate, how many times would she jump in 4 minutes?
trapecia [35]

Since Louis jumped 270 times in 6 hours this means that she jumped:

\frac{270}{6}=45

45 times per hour.

Now we need to find how many times she jumped per minute to do this we have to remember that one hour has 60 minutes then we divide the number of jumps per hour by the 60 minutes, that is:

\frac{45}{60}=0.75

This means that she jumps 0.75 times per minute. Finally to find out how many times she jumped in foour minutes we multiply the 0.75 by 4:

0.75\cdot4=3

Therefore, Louis jumped 3 times in four minutes.

Solve the system of equations and choose the correct ordered pair. 3x-2y=12 and 6x+3y=21
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Solution ( \frac{26}{7} ,  \frac{-3}{7})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  :  3x - 2y = 12 and 6x + 3y = 21.

To find : Solve the system of equations and choose the correct ordered pair.

Solution : We have given

3x - 2y = 12 -------(1)

6x + 3y = 21-------(2)

Multiplying the equation(1) by 2 , it become.

6x - 4y = 24 .

Now subtract it from equation (2).

6x + 3y = 21

(-)6x - (+)4y = (-)24 .

____________

0 + 7y = -3.

On dividing both sides by 7.

y = \frac{-3}{7}.

Plug the y = \frac{-3}{7} in equation 2 .

 6x  + 3*\frac{-3}{7} = 21

6x + \frac{-9}{7}  = 21.

On multiplying both sides by 7

42x  -9 = 21 *7 .

42x  -9 = 147 .

On adding both sides by 9

42x = 147 + 9 .

42x = 156.

On dividing both sides by 42.

x = \frac{156}{42}.

x = \frac{26}{7}.

Therefore, Solution ( \frac{26}{7} ,  \frac{-3}{7})

The measure of each angle in the triangle
telo118 [61]
M of A = x
m of B = 2x-7
m of C = 2x+2

By the angle sum property of a triangle, we know that all the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

Thus we can create a linear equation

x + 2x-7 + 2x+2 = 180
4x = 185
x = 185/4
x = 46.25

Thus
m of A = 46.25
m of B = 2(46.25) -7 = 85.5
m of C = 2(46.25) +2 = 90.5
