The terms shown below are the first three terms of a geometric sequence whose common ratio is positive. 7, 4x+8, 112.

a) Determine the value of the common ratio
b) Determine the value of X algebraically.

a. 4

b. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a. r = √(112/7) =√16 =4

b. 4x+8 = 28

4x = 28-8

4x = 20

x= 5

the answer is d

the answer is in the first quadrant, which make the y-int positive.

since the dots are going down, therefore the correlation is negative

i hope it is right.
