Answer:

The length of the building's shadow = 550.66 ft

Explanations:

The height of the Empie State Building = 1250 feet

The friend's height = 75 inches

The length of the friend's shadow = 33 inches

\frac{Actual\text{ height of the friend}}{\text{Length of the friend's shadow}}=\text{ }\frac{Height\text{ of the building}}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}}\begin{gathered} \frac{75}{33}=\text{ }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ 2.27\text{ =  }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }\frac{1250}{2.27} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }550.66\text{ f}et \end{gathered}

Answer:

1. x = 5, y = 13/2

2. x = 15 , y = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{8 y + 6 x = 82 | (equation 1)

{6 y + 9 x = 84 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{9 x + 6 y = 84 | (equation 1)

{6 x + 8 y = 82 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{9 x + 6 y = 84 | (equation 1)

{0 x + 4 y = 26 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3:

{3 x + 2 y = 28 | (equation 1)

{0 x + 4 y = 26 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 2:

{3 x + 2 y = 28 | (equation 1)

{0 x + 2 y = 13 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 2:

{3 x + 2 y = 28 | (equation 1)

{0 x + y = 13/2 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{3 x + 0 y = 15 | (equation 1)

{0 x + y = 13/2 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3:

{x + 0 y = 5 | (equation 1)

{0 x + y = 13/2 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 5, y = 13/2

_____________________________________

Solve the following system:

{8 y + 3 x = 237 | (equation 1)

{3 y + 5 x = 147 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{5 x + 3 y = 147 | (equation 1)

{3 x + 8 y = 237 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{5 x + 3 y = 147 | (equation 1)

{0 x + (31 y)/5 = 744/5 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 5/31:

{5 x + 3 y = 147 | (equation 1)

{0 x + y = 24 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{5 x + 0 y = 75 | (equation 1)

{0 x + y = 24 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{x + 0 y = 15 | (equation 1)

{0 x + y = 24 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 15 , y = 24

Find the first 4 terms of the Arithmetic sequence.<br> f(n) = f(n-1) + 5<br> f(1) = -2
nexus9112 [7]
<span>f(n) = f(n-1) + 5   simply means

the next term or f(n), will have a value of
the one before it, or f(n-1), +5

so.. you're looking for the 4th term, that means f(4)
to get 4th term then, that will be the 3rd term plus 5,
whatever the 3rd term is

now... f(1) = -2, simply means, the term 1, or f(1), or first term, is -2

now to find a term value in an arithmetic sequence </span>\bf f(n)=f(1)+(n-1)d\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=n^{th}\ term\to &4\\&#10;f(1)=\textit{first term}\to &-2\\&#10;d=&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{common difference, or amount}\\&#10;\textit{added to get the next term}&#10;\end{array}\to &5&#10;\end{cases}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;thus&#10;\\\\&#10;f(4)=f(1)+(4-1)5

and I'm sure you know what f(1) is, so, just plug it in, to get f(4), or 4th term
