Mr. Jones asks his students to generate the next two numbers in the sequence beginning –5.5, 11, Taquan suggests that the sequence is geometric and the next two numbers are –22 and 44. Julia suggests that the sequence is arithmetic and the next two numbers are 27.5 and 44.

Which best explains which student is correct?

Taquan is correct. When the signs change in a sequence, the sequence is geometric. Each successive term is generated by multiplying by –2.
Julia is correct. When the numbers alternate between decimals and whole numbers, the sequence is arithmetic. Each successive term is generated by adding 16.5.
Both students could be correct about the types of possible sequences. However, one student made a computational error because it is not possible to arrive at a fourth term of 44 in two different ways.
Both students could be correct. Because two numbers are given in the original sequence, it is possible to find a common difference and common ratio between the successive terms.

Will give are given that xy is parallel to zw. if xz is a transversal that intercepts xy and zw, angle angle alternate interior angles. since xy is parallel to zw, we know that these angles are we also know that angle xvy and angle zvw are , and thus congruent. we can conclude that △xyv ~ △zwv using the similarity theorem.

In one day there are too high tides into low tides and equally spaced intervals the high tide is observed to be 6 feet above the average sea level after six hours passed a low tide occurs at 6 feet below the average sea level in this task you will model this occurrence using a trigonometric function by using x as a measurement of time assume the first high tide occurs at x=0. a. what are the independent and dependent variables? b. determine these key features of the function that models the tide: 1.amplitude 2.period 3.frequency 4.midline 5.vertical shift 6.phase shift c. create a trigonometric function that models the ocean tide for a period of 12 hours. d.what is the height of the tide after 93 hours?
