F(1) = 160 is given to us. We'll use it to find f(2)
f(n+1) = -2*f(n)
f(1+1) = -2*f(1) ... replace every n with 1
f(1+1) = -2*160 ... replace f(1) with 160
f(2) = -320
Now use f(2) to find f(3)
f(n+1) = -2*f(n)
f(2+1) = -2*f(2) ... replace every n with 2
f(3) = -2*(-320) ... replace f(2) with -320
f(3) = 640
Finally, use f(3) to find f(4)
f(n+1) = -2*f(n)
f(3+1) = -2*f(3) ... replace every n with 3
f(4) = -2*640 ... replace f(3) with 640
f(4) = -1280
Final Answer: -1280
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
Let h the height of the hill. =
At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.
By definition,
tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x
(1)
At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is
40 + 18 = 58°.
By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)
h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)
h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)
Equate (1) and (2).
1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135
x = 946.0523
From (1), obtain
h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft
Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)
Answer:
- 3x² + 5x + 1 = 0 simplified
- x = (-5 ±
)/6 roots
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given quadratic formula</u>
<u>Standard form</u>
<u>Simplifying</u>
- 3x² + 5x - 5 + 6 = 0
- 3x² + 5x + 1 = 0
<u>Solving</u>
- x = (-5 ±
)/(2*3) - x = (-5 ±
)/6
Answer:
$69.60
Step-by-step explanation:
58 increase 20% =
58 × (1 + 20%) = 58 × (1 + 0.2) = 69.6
So, since 100% = 128, x should equal 96, and we are trying to find x.
Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
(100/x) * x = (128/96) * x
Cancel out the x's on the left side so
100 = 1.333(x)
75 = x
96 is 75% of 128
