An arithmetic sequence has this recursive formula:
a₁ = 5
an = an-1-4
What is the explicit formula for this sequence?

An Arithmetic Sequence Has This Recursive Formula:a = 5an = An-1-4What Is The Explicit Formula For This

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a_n = 5 + (n-1)(-4)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So the explicit formula is generally defined as [tex]a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)[/tex]. where d is essentially the "slope", basically how much it's changing from term to term. anyways if you look at the recursive formula you'll notice it's taking the previous term and subtracting 4. This is what d is going to be, -4 and since a_1 is given you plug that in as well. This gives you the equation

[tex]a_n = 5 -4(n-1)[/tex] which can also be written as [tex]a_n = 5 + (n-1)(-4)[/tex]

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator

Answers

By using trigonometric relations, we will see that:

x = √3

How to find the value of x?

In the image, we can see a right triangle, where the hypotenuse measures √6, and the two legs have the same measure.

Then this is a 45°, 45°, 90° right triangle.

Then we can use the relation:

cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse).

Where a = 45°, adjacent cathetus = x, hypotenuse = √6

Replacing that, we get:

cos(45°) = x/√6

Remember that cos(45°) = 1/√2

Replacing that we get:

1/√2= x/√6

√6/√2 = x

√(6/2) = x

√3 = x

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a triangle add up to 180

(3x-10) + 30 + x = 180

4x = 160

x = 40

Answer: x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

All the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°

Therefore,

30 + 3x - 10 + x = 180

30 + 4x - 10 = 180

20 + 4x = 180

4x = 160

The rule for the reflection of the pre-image M(-5, 4), L(-4, 2), N(-2, 3), to form the image M'(-5, -4), L'(-4, -2), N'(-2, -3) is the option;

rx-axis(x, y) → (x, -y)

Which method can be used to find the rule for the reflection?

The given pre-image points are;

M(-5, 4)L(-4, 2)

The image points are;

M'(-5, -4)M'(-5, -4)L'(-4, -2)M'(-5, -4)L'(-4, -2)N'(-2, -3)

The difference (change) between the pre-image and the image is a change in the sign of the y-value, which is equivalent to a reflection across the x-axis.

Therefore;

rx-axis M(-5, 4) → M'(-5, -4)rx-axis L(-4, 2) → L'(-4, -2)rx-axis N(-2, 3) → N'(-2, -3)

How to know if the store manager achieves his goal?

To calculate if the store manager achieves its goal, we must perform the following operations:

80 × $200 = $16,00010 × $400 = $4,000

$16,000 + $4,000 = $20,000

The height of the pole is 96 feet

In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, or Pythagoras' theorem, is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides. This theorem can be written as an equation relating the lengths of the legs a, b and the hypotenuse c, often called the Pythagorean equation:[1]

[tex]a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2},[/tex]

Create a diagram of the scenario first. You would have a right triangle with a hypotenuse (longest side) of h + 4, a longest leg of h - 68, and one leg of length h to represent the pole.

Set up the equation [tex]h^2 + (h - 68)^2 = (h + 4)^2[/tex] using the Pythagorean theorem ([tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]).

[tex]h^2 + (h - 68)^2 = (h + 4)^2[/tex]

On simplifying we get

[tex]h^2+h^2-136h+4624 = h^2+8h+16[/tex]

[tex]2h^2-136h+4624=h^2+8h+16[/tex]

[tex]h^2-144h+4608=0[/tex]

Solving using quadratic formula

[tex]h_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-144\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-144\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4608}}{2\cdot \:1}[/tex]  

[tex]h_1=\frac{-\left(-144\right)+48}{2\cdot \:1},\:h_2=\frac{-\left(-144\right)-48}{2\cdot \:1}[/tex]

h1 = 96 feet , h2 = 48 feet

If height would have been 48 feet then the other side would have a negative value as as 48 - 68 = -20 .

Hence the height of the pole is 96 feet
