Step-by-step explanation:
if it is a geometric sequence, then
sn = sn-1 × r
with r being the common ratio.
1.
s2 = s1 × r
20 = -40 × r
r = 20/-40 = -1/2
but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.
s3 = s2 × r
-100 = 20 × -1/2 = -10
this is wrong, so, it is not geometric.
2.
s2 = s1 × r
20 = 4 × r
r = 20/4 = 5
but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.
s3 = s2 × r
100 = 20 × 5 = 100
s4 = s3 × r
500 = 100 × 5 = 500
this is all correct, so, it is geometric.
sn = sn-1 × 5
sn = s1 × 5^(n-1) = 4 × 5^(n-1)
3.
s2 = s1 × r
24 = 4 × r
r = 24/4 = 6
but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.
s3 = s2 × r
144 = 24 × 6 = 144
s4 = s3 × r
864 = 144 × 6 = 864
this is all correct, so, it is geometric.
sn = sn-1 × 6
sn = s1 × 6^(n-1) = 4 × 6^(n-1)
5.
s2 = s1 × r
-12 = 3 × r
r = -12/3 = -4
but the same r has to apply to all other terms, if it is geometric.
s3 = s2 × r
48 = -12 × -4 = 48
s4 = s3 × r
-192 = 48 × -4 = -192
this is all correct, so, it is geometric.
sn = sn-1 × -4
sn = s1 × (-4)^(n-1) = 3 × (-4)^(n-1)

If DEF and MNO are two triangles such that DE=MN and EF=NO, which of the following would be sufficient to prove that triangles are congruent
Answer:
D. ∠E ≅ ∠N
Step-by-step explanation:
The pair of sides meet at vertex E in ∆DEF and at vertex N in ∆MNO. Since the sides that make up angles E and N are shown congruent, it is sufficient to show ...
∠E ≅ ∠N
Then the SAS congruence postulate can be claimed.

Additional comment
The alternative is to show DF ≅ MO. That would allow you to claim SSS congruence. That is not an answer choice.

On a separate sheet of paper, graph the function. In the answer box, describe the function.
f(x) = {-5x+2 if x 2
2x - 2 if x 22
Please type your explanation (no links).
Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph for x < 2 is the line y = -5x +2. It has a y-intercept of 2 (point (0, 2)) and a slope (rise/run) of -5. The line ends with an open circle at (2, -8).
The graph for x ≥ 2 is the line y = 2x -2. It has a slope of 2 and ends with a solid dot at the point (2, 2). Another point on that line will be 2 units right and 4 units up, at (4, 6).
You can plot the points described here and draw rays through them to form the graph. A graph is attached.

Graph the equation 2x - y = -3
PLEASE HELP, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets assume that x=0
Therefore- 2×0-y= -3
0 - y =-3
Therefore y = -3
Then lets take now the before equation
2x - 3= -3
2x = -3+3
2x=0
x=0÷2
∴ x= 0
Answer is- 0,-3
See image
You have to change the equation so it's in the form y=mx+b.
b is the y-intercept and it is a good starting point and m is the slope and it tells you directions to the next point (also how steep or flat and if it's going up or down) See image

Step-by-step explanation:
40 percent of students survey said that they are night owls . If 300 students said that they are night owls how many students were surveyed ?
Based on the calculations that 300 is 40%, 375 is considered 50% or halfway.. in this case, we must multiply 375 by 2 and we will discover how many students were surveyed:
375 x 2 = 750
Consider the following function.
f(x) = 1 + 5/x - 4/x2
(a) Find the vertical asymptote(s).
(b) Find the interval where the function is increasing.
Find the interval where the function is decreasing.
(c) Find the local maximum and minimum values.
(d) Find the interval where the function is concave up.
Find the interval where the function is concave down.
Find the inflection point.
(e) Use the information from parts (a)-(d) to sketch the graph of f.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume the function is [tex]f(x)=1+\frac{5}{x}-\frac{4}{x^2}[/tex]
A) The vertical asymptotes are located where the denominator is equal to 0. Therefore, [tex]x=0[/tex] is the only vertical asymptote.
B) Set the first derivative equal to 0 and solve:
[tex]f(x)=1+\frac{5}{x}-\frac{4}{x^2}[/tex]
[tex]f'(x)=-\frac{5}{x^2}+\frac{8}{x^3}[/tex]
[tex]0=-\frac{5}{x^2}+\frac{8}{x^3}[/tex]
[tex]0=-5x+8[/tex]
[tex]5x=8[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex]
Now we test where the function is increasing and decreasing on each side. I will use 2 and 1 to test this:
[tex]f'(2)=-\frac{5}{2^2}+\frac{8}{2^3}=-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{8}{8}=-\frac{5}{4}+1=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]f'(1)=-\frac{5}{1^2}+\frac{8}{1^3}=-\frac{5}{1}+\frac{8}{1}=-5+8=3[/tex]
Therefore, the function increases on the interval [tex](0,\frac{8}{5})[/tex] and decreases on the interval [tex](-\infty,0),(\frac{8}{5},\infty)[/tex].
C) Since we determined that the slope is 0 when [tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex] from the first derivative, plugging it into the original function tells us where the extrema are. Therefore, [tex]f(\frac{8}{5})=1+\frac{5}{\frac{8}{5}}-\frac{4}{\frac{8}{5}^2 }=\frac{41}{16}[/tex], meaning there's an extreme at the point [tex](\frac{8}{5},\frac{41}{16})[/tex], but is it a maximum or minimum? To answer that, we will plug in [tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex] into the second derivative which is [tex]f''(x)=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]. If [tex]f''(x)>0[/tex], then it's a minimum. If [tex]f''(x)<0[/tex], then it's a maximum. If [tex]f''(x)=0[/tex], the test fails. So, [tex]f''(\frac{8}{5})=\frac{10}{\frac{8}{5}^3}-\frac{24}{\frac{8}{5}^4}=-\frac{625}{512}<0[/tex], which means [tex](\frac{8}{5},\frac{41}{16})[/tex] is a local maximum.
D) Now set the second derivative equal to 0 and solve:
[tex]f''(x)=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]
[tex]0=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]
[tex]0=10x-24[/tex]
[tex]-10x=-24[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{24}{10}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]
We then test where [tex]f''(x)[/tex] is negative or positive by plugging in test values. I will use -1 and 3 to test this:
[tex]f''(-1)=\frac{10}{(-1)^3}-\frac{24}{(-1)^4}=-34<0[/tex], so the function is concave down on the interval [tex](-\infty,0)\cup(0,\frac{12}{5})[/tex]
[tex]f''(3)=\frac{10}{3^3}-\frac{24}{3^4}=\frac{2}{27}>0[/tex], so the function is concave up on the interval [tex](\frac{12}{5},\infty)[/tex]
The inflection point is where concavity changes, which can be determined by plugging in [tex]x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex] into the original function, which would be [tex]f(\frac{12}{5})=1+\frac{5}{\frac{12}{5}}+\frac{4}{\frac{12}{5}^2 }=\frac{43}{18}[/tex], or [tex](\frac{12}{5},\frac{43}{18})[/tex].

mr karki divides a sum of Rs 180000 between his son and daughter in the ratio of 4:5 find the sum obtained by each of them
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Sorry no one answered your question sooner. First Let x = what the daughter receives
Then 180000 - x is what the son will receive. Notice that if you add these together you get the total, 180000. You write a proportion and cross multiply to solve. Since x = 80000, the son will receive 80000. The daughter will receive 100000.

ΔHGE and ΔFGE are congruent by the Angle-Side-Angle Congruence Theorem (ASA).
Recall:
A segment that divides an angle into equal parts is known as an angle bisector.Two triangles are congruent by the ASA Congruence Theorem if they share a common side and have two pairs of congruent angles.In the diagram given, Angle bisector, GE, divides ∠HEF into congruent angles, ∠HEG ≅ ∠GEF.
Also divides ∠FGH into congruent angles, ∠HGE ≅ ∠FGE.
Both triangles also share a common side, GE
This implies that: ΔHGE and ΔFGE have:
two pairs of congruent angles - ∠HEG ≅ ∠GEF and ∠HGE ≅ ∠FGE
a shared side - GE
Therefore, ΔHGE and ΔFGE are congruent by the Angle-Side-Angle Congruence Theorem (ASA).
