Step-by-step explanation:

to know whether it is geometric progression or not, you need to find the common ratio. to find the ratio divide the (n+1)th term by n th term

so, 12/-4 = -3

also, -36/12 = -3

here u see the ratio is always same, i.e., common ratio.

thus u can say it is a geometric series with common ratio -3

1. Solve for the x and y intercepts:

aleksandrvk [35]

To find the x-intercept, you simply make y equal to 0 and solve the equation for x. To find the y-intercept, you make x equal to 0 and solve for y. So, for number 1, the answer is D because when you set it to y equals 0, you get x=3 and when you set it to x equals 0, you get 4.
Number 2 we would do the same thing and get D as well.
Hope this helps!

WHY must the same operation be performed on both sides of an equation?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:When you are given a problem, the two sides are equal, so they are equally weighted. As long as you do the same thing on both sides, they remain the same weight. The only way that one side can become "more weight" on a side is if you make a math mistake, and thus the answer would not satisfy the original equation

Hey there,

Question #1

Question #2

Question #3

The answer would be in the attachment below.
_____________________________________________________________

Question 4#

The last one was kind of tricky. But, as I saw this attachment, I noticed on how the rectangle was actually 3/4 on the base and for the height, it was 1/2. So by doing this,we need to find the area, and we would multiply these both. 1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8 but by looking at your options, those are not simplified so . . .your answer would be 6/16 because 3x2=6 & 8x2=16.

I really hope this can help you Amanda.

Have a great day! =)
