The value of x that is the length from the edge of the screen to the end of the wall is equal 3. This is derived from an equation which serves as a function of the Area. See the solution below.

<h3>

What is the calculation for the solution above?
</h3>

Recall that the area of the entire wall is 40m².

(10-2x) (16- 2x) = 40

Expanding the brackets, we have

160-20x-32x + 4x² = 40
4x² - 52x + 120 = 0
x² - 13x +30 = 0

Using the quadratic equation

x = (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a

Where a = 1
b  = 13
c = 30

x = (13 ± 7)/2

Thus x = 10; or x = 3.

x cannot be the answer because it invalidates 16-x<0;

Hence, the correct answer is x = 3

Jia is skipping a rock across a pond. The sequence {4.2, 3.57, 3.0345, 2.5793, …} describes the height of the rock on each succe
mylen [45]

Answer:

u_n=4.2(0.85)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

u_1=4.2\\u_2=3.57\\u_3=3.0345\\u_4=2.5793

Geometric formula sequence:   u_n=ar^{(n-1)}

(where a is the first term of the sequence and r is the common ratio)

To find the common ratio, divide one of the terms by the previous term:

r=\frac{u_2}{u_1} =\frac{3.57}{4.2} =0.85

From inspection, a=4.2

Therefore, u_n=4.2(0.85)^{n-1}
