Let Fn be the number of ways of arranging such flagpole with the given conditions.

When arranging a flagpole of n feet high, consider the following cases

If the last flag used is a red flag, then the other flags are n-1 foot high, so they can be seen as arranged on a smaller flagpole of n-1 feet high, which can be done in Fn-1 ways.

Similarly, If the last flag used is a gold flag, then the other flags can be seen as arranged on a smaller flagpole of n-1 feet high. This can be done in Fn-1 ways.

If the last flag used is green, the other flags are n-2 feet high, so the flagpole can be arranged in Fn-2 ways.

Using the sum rule, we obtain that Fn = 2Fn-1 + Fn-2 for all n≥3. Listing all the combinations of flags, the initial conditions are F1 = 2 and F2 = 3.

I need some help with this
Mashutka [201]
The angle of elevation from the hiker to the park ranger is the same as the angle of depression from the ranger to the hiker, 29°.

The tangent function of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side (500') to the adjacent side (x) in the right triangle shown. That is
   tan(29°) = 500' / x

Multiplying the equation by x/tan(29°) gives
   x = 500' / tan(29°)
   x ≈ 500' / 0.5543
   x ≈ 902 ft

There are 8 flowers in a garden. Some insects (butterflies and dragonflies) sit on flowers. There is no more than one insect per
tester [92]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

x butterflies and y dragonflies

4 < x + y 《 8

x = 2y

4 < 2y + y < 8

4 < 3y < 8

Only multiple of 2 between 4 and 8 is 6

So 3y = 6

y = 2

x = 2y = 4
