So hmm is a geometric sequence, meaning, the next term is found by multiplying it by "something", namely the "common ratio"

now, if the next term is the product of the common ratio and the previous term, that means, if we divide the previous term by the next term, the quotient will then be the "common ratio", let's do that then

let's divide the 2nd term by the 1st term then

\bf \cfrac{-2x^2-6x}{x+3}\implies \cfrac{-2x\underline{(x+3)}}{\underline{(x+3)}}\implies \boxed{-2x}\impliedby \textit{common ratio}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{value of first term}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=x+3\\
n=8\\
r=-2x
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_8=(x+3)(-2x)^{8-1}\implies a_8=(x+3)(-2x)^7
\\\\\\
a_8=(x+3)(-2^7x^7)\implies a_8=(x+3)(-128x^7)
\\\\\\
a_8=-128x^8-384x^7

Wyatt’s eye-level height is 120 ft above sea level, and Shawn’s eye-level height is 270 ft above sea level. How much farther can
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The answer is 3√5 mi.

The formula is: d = √(3h/2)

Wyatt:

h = 120 ft

d = √(3 * 120/2) = √180 = √(36 * 5) = √36 * √5 = 6√5 mi

Shawn:

h = 270 ft

d = √(3 * 270/2) = √405 = √(81 * 5) = √81 * √5 = 9√5 mi

How much farther can Shawn see to the horizon?

Shawn - Wyatt = 9√5 - 6√5 = 3√5 mi

Emily folded a paper circle into 2 equal parts. What is the angle measure of each part?​
timama [110]
The diameter splits the circle into 2 equal halves by going through the midpoint of the circle. The two halves are called semicircles.
