Answer:

Answer:

The geometric sequence among following is:

         Option: B

         8 , 4 , 2 , 1 , 1/2 , 1/4 ,.....

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence--

A sequence is said to be a geometric sequence if each of the number in the sequence is a constant multiple of the preceding term in the sequence.

This constant multiple is known as the common ratio (r)

i.e. the sequence is given by:

a,ar,ar²,ar³,.....

A)

0,1,2,3,......

It is a arithmetic sequence and not a geometric sequence .

Since, each of the term is increasing by 1 as compared to the preceding term of the sequence.

B)

8,4,2,1,1/2,1/4,.....

It is a geometric sequence.

Since, each term of the sequence is a constant multiple of 1/2 of the preceding term of the sequence.

i.e. 8×(1/2)=4

4×(1/2)=2

2×(1/2)=1

1×(1/2)=1/2

and so on.

i.e. the common ratio is: 1/2

C)

-7,10,23,36,.....

This is not a geometric sequence.

Since,

-7* (-10)/(7)=10

but

10* (-10)/(7)\neq 23

D)

2,-3,9/2,-18/4

Here

2* (-3)/(2)=-3

-3* (-3)/(2)=(9)/(2)

but

(9)/(2)* (-3)/(2)=(-27)/(4)\neq (-18)/(4)

Hence, it is not a geometric sequence.

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps:

1: Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides.

4x+2−2=6−2

4x=4

2: Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

4x4=44x=1

Answer: x=1

Hope this helps.

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

4x+2=6

Bringing 2 to the other side, it becomes negative..

4x=6-2 = 4

4x=4

again 4 brought to rhs n divided..

x=4/4

x= 1

So the correct option is (a)

Find the area of a regular octagon with an apothem 9.7 meters long and a side length of 8 meters.

Answers

The area of a regular octagon is:
A = a * P / 2,  where a is an apothem and P is a perimeter.
P = 8 * 8 m = 64 m
A = 9.7 m * 64 m / 2
A = 620.8 / 2 m²
A = 310.4 m²
Answer:
The area of a regular octagon is 310.4 m².
