7. Find all geometric sequences such that the sum of the first two terms is 24 and the sum of the first three terms is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first term is n, then the second term must be an where a is a common ratio, and the third term is a^2 n

so, n + an = 24

n + an + a^2 n = 26

solve for a, then solve for n

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
