Find the common ratio for the following sequence.
1/2, -1/4,1/8,1/-16

In the following diagram it is given that dec, ab || dc, ad || eb, and ad is congruent to bc. a)why isn't abc a parallelogram even though it has a pair of parallel sides and a pair of congruent sides b)explain why be must be congruent to bc. further explain what type of triangle this makes triangle abc and what it tells you about angle 1 and angle 2c) finally why must angle 3 be congruent to angle 1? further, explain why we know that angle 3 is congruent to angle 2

1. evaluate 8x(2)y9(-2) for x=-1 and y=2 2. simplify the equation. -() 3. simplify the expression. [tex]\frac{5}{x(-2) y9(5)}[/tex]

5. (04.07)which of the following exponential functions goes through the points (1, 12) and (2, 36)? (2 points)f(x) = 3(4)^xf(x) = 4(3)^-xf(x) = 3(4)^-xf(x) = 4(3)^x
