In a geometric sequence, the 5th term is 9 and the 7th term is 36. Use the geometric mean to find the 6th term.

18

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to get from 9 to 36 in 2 steps by multiplying, so you need to find what gets 9 to 26 in one turn. 9*4=36, and because 4 is square we know you can multiply by 2 twice to get the same effect. 9*2=18. and just to make sure we can check that 18*2=36

9.55 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:

the given angle is

1 cycle is equal to 2π radians. so 4π will be equal to two cycles.

5.166667π-4π = 1.166667π

hence, this angle goes a little more than negative x axis.

1.166667π-π= 0.166667π

hence, the reference angle is 0.166667π radians.

1 radian = 57.2958 degrees

now, in degrees, this should be equals to 9.55 degrees.

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
