Mathematics

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

Terms in a geometric series that are n apart will have a ratio that is r^n. Here we have terms a4 and a1, which are 4-1=3 apart, so their ratio is ...

  a4/a1 = 135/5 = 27 = r^3

  r = ∛27 = 3

The second term is the first, multiplied by this common ratio:

  a2 = a1·r = 3(5)

  a2 = 15

What is the equation for a circle with a center at (5,-2) and passes through (4,0)?
Kisachek [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

since you said equation I'm assuming it's in terms of x and y Just as a general equation

since the centre of the circle isn't at 0, you have to take that into account using the formula above. solve for the radius of the circle by substituting (4,0) into the formula and get your r value to replace in the original formula

Explain why the square root of -64 is undefined but the cubed root of -64 is defined in the real number system
sergejj [24]
Because there is no number that could be multiplied BY ITSELF and still be negative:
-2 x -2 = 4
2 x 2 = 4
But, cubed root works because a negative can be three times and still be negative:
-4 x -4 x -4 = -64
Hope this helps!
