What are the possible values of the missing term in the geometric sequence?
4, _, 9, ...

Explanation:

r = common ratio

To get any term in a geometric sequence, we multiply the previous term by r.

So that means 4r is the second term, since 4 is the first term.

The third term is (4r)*r = 4r^2, which is equal to 9 as given to us.

4r^2 = 9

4r^2 - 9 = 0

(2r)^2 - (3)^2 = 0

(2r - 3)(2r + 3) = 0  ... difference of squares rule

2r-3 = 0 or 2r+3 = 0

2r = 3 or 2r = -3

r = 3/2 or r = -3/2

r = 1.5 or r = -1.5

We can use each r value to find the possible second term

S = 4r = 4*(1.5) = 6

S = 4r = 4*(-1.5) = -6

The second term is either 6 or -6.

We could have this sequence: 4, 6, 9, ...

Or we could have this sequence: 4, -6, 9, ...

honestly bro aint no one got time to answer these dumb question just do it p***y

step-by-step explanation:

7

step-by-step explanation:

i'm assuming you need to figure out how many campers go into each tent.

i got the answer by:

24+4=28

28/4=7
