Step-by-step explanation:

a geometric sequence means that every term is created by multiplying the previous term by a certain constant factor. this factor is called the "common ratio".

so,

6×r = 18

r = 18/6 = 3

and a quick check tells us this works also for the next terms (18×3 = 54, 54×3 = 162), so it is indeed a geometric sequence with common ratio 3.

a0 = 6

a1 = a0 × 3 = 6×3 = 18

a2 = a1 × 3 = a0 × 3×3 = 6×3² = 54

an = a0 × 3^n = 6 × 3^n

so,

f(x) = 6×3^x, x is integer, x >=0

Answer:

obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines tells you ...

b² = a² +c² -2ac·cos(B)

Substituting for a²+c² using the given equation, we have ...

b² = b²·cos(B)² -2ac·cos(B)

We can subtract b² to get a quadratic in standard form for cos(B).

b²·cos(B)² -2ac·cos(B) -b² = 0

Solving this using the quadratic formula gives ...

$\cos(B)=\dfrac{-(-2ac)\pm\sqrt{(-2ac)^2-4(b^2)(-b^2)}}{2b^2}\\\\\cos(B)=\dfrac{ac}{b^2}\pm\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{ac}{b^2}\right)^2+1}$

The fraction ac/b² is always positive, so the term on the right (the square root) is always greater than 1. The value of cos(B) cannot be greater than 1, so the only viable value for cos(B) is ...

$\cos(B)=\dfrac{ac}{b^2}-\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{ac}{b^2}\right)^2+1}$
