I'm assuming the sequence is: -320, 80, -20, 5
Divide each term by the previous term to get the common ratio r
r = (term 2)/(term 1) = 80/(-320) = -1/4
r = (term 3)/(term 2) = -20/80 = -1/4
r = (term 4)/(term 3) = 5/(-20) = -1/4
No matter which term you pick (as long as it's not the first one) dividing it by the previous term leads to -1/4 or -0.25 as the common ratio
Answer: -1/4
It seems like none of the answer choices have -1/4 but it could be choice A was supposed to show "-1/4" instead of "-14"? Perhaps the division sign didn't show up for some reason?
Answer:
Here you go
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) x=0, x=1
b)x=0, x=4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
I didnt use the graph, just used algebra. For part a, you can find the answers using the graph by looking at the value of x when y = whatever value they give.
A)
3x²-3x+2=2
3x²-3x+0
x(3x-3)=0
For the product of two things to equal zero, one of them has to be zero. For example, if ab=0, then either a or b (or both) are zero.
Therefore..
x=0
or 3x-3=0, ∴x=1
b)
3x²-3x-1 = x-1
3x²-4x=0
x(3x-4)=0
∴x=0, x=4/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
5 times a number = 5x
24 - 5x = 15
-5x = 15-24
-5x = -9
x= -9/-5
x = 9/5
or x = 1.8
Answer:7
Step-by-step explanation: 14%=14/100. (14/100)*50=7
