Place a check mark in the box next to each expression that is equivalent to 4^3

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt

hello,

elba writes the following proof for the theorem: if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram:

elba's proof

1. for triangles aob and cod, angle 1 is equal to angle 2 as they are vertical angles.

2. ao = oc and bo = od because it is given that diagonals bisect each other.

3. therefore, the triangles aob and cod are congruent by sas postulate.

4. similarly, triangles aod and cob are congruent.

5. by cpctc, angle abd is equal to angle cdb and angle adb is equal to angle cbd.

6. as the are congruent, the opposite sides of quadrilateral abcd are parallel.

7. therefore, abcd is a parallelogram.

which is the missing phrase in elba's proof?

answer - opposite

i definitely need a figure to answer you question correctly! : (
