This is a geometric sequence of the form:
a(n)=(x+3)(-2x)^(n-1) because each term is -2x times the previous term...so
a(8)=(x+3)(-128x^7)
a(8)=-128x^8-384x^7
Let the angle of elevation be θ.
We have a right angled triangle with an opposite of 300.5 ft. (306 - 5.5) and an adjacent of 400 ft. Recalling SOH CAH TOA, tanθ = O/A.
tan(θ) = 300.5/400.
θ = tan^-1(300.5/400).
θ = 36.9°.
B is the answer bc you need to subtract before divide, so you need the parenthesis around 36-10
