All you have to is divide two consecutive terms to calculate the common ratio
1/4 divided by 5/12 = 1/4 * 12/5 = 12/20 = 3/5
9.) Answer: B. f(x) = 4 - x
Explanation/Proof:
If we substitute, the answers are correct.
f(x) = 4 - (1)
f(x) = 3 ✅
f(x) = 4 - (2)
f(x) = 2 ✅
And so on and so forth.
128 = 128 cause u add them
Example:
The sum of two consecutive integers is -15. What is the product of the two integers?
x = 1st consecutive integer
x + 1 = 2nd consecutive integer {consecutive integers increase by 1}
x + x + 1 = -15 {the sum of two consecutive integers is -15}
2x + 1 = -15 {combined like terms}
2x = -16 {subtracted 1 from each side}
x = -8 {divided each side by 2}
x + 1 = -7 {substituted -8, in for x, into x + 1}
-8 and -7 are the two consecutive integers
Their product is 56.
