A6 = -8
a15= -62

There are (15 - 6) terms in between, therefore 9 terms in between.
-8 to -62 ... there is a difference of 54
54 ÷ 9 = 6
Therefore it gets -6 each term.
a6 = -8, a7= -14, a8 = -20 ......

That's an arithmetic sequence. To find the rule of the sequence, we need to find the first term (a₁) and the difference of the sequence (d)

Make an equation system based on what are given by the question.
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)

a₆ = a₁ + d(6 - 1) = -8
a₆ = a₁ + 5d = -8 (first equation)

a₁₅ = a₁ + d(15 - 1) = -62
a₁₅ = a₁ + 14d = -62 (second equation)

Solve the equation to find the value of a₁ and d
Using elimination method, find the value of d from first equation and second equation
a₁ + 14d = -62
a₁ +  5d =   -8
-------------------- -   (substract)
        9d = -54
          d = -54/9
          d = -6

Using subtitution method, find the value of a₁. Subtitute d with -6 from the first equation.
a₁ + 5d = -8
a₁ + 5(-6) = -8
a₁ - 30 = -8
a₁ = -8 + 30
a₁ = 22

Determine the rule of the sequence
General rule for arithmetic sequence is
an = a + d(n - 1)

Now input the value of a₁ and d to the general rule, then simpllify.
an = a + d(n - 1)
an = 22 + -6(n - 1)
an = 22 -6n + 6
an = 28 - 6n

The rule of the sequence is 28 - 6n

If aa skateboard ramp is 15 meters long and it extends 12 meters from the base of the starting point. How high is the ramp?
guapka [62]

The height of the ramp is 9 meter

<u>Solution:</u>

It is given that a skateboard ramp is 15 meters long and it extends 12 meters from the base of the starting point.

If we look at the sum, closely we understand that the ramp is a right angled triangle.

Which has a base length of 12 metres and a hypotenuse of 15 metres.

We need to find its height.

To do so we can use the Pythagoras theorem

Pythagorean theorem, states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of other two sides of the right-angled triangle.

By above definition, we get

\text {Hypotenuse}^{2}=\text {height}^{2}+\text { base }^{2}

Since we already know the lengths of the hypotenuse and base we can substitute them in the formula and solve for the height.

Let height of the ramp be denoted by ‘h’

\begin{array}{l}{15^{2}=12^{2}+h^{2}} \\\\ {225=144+h^{2}} \\\\ {225-144=h^{2}} \\\\ {81=h^{2}} \\\\ {h=\sqrt{81}} \\\\ {h=9}\end{array}

Therefore, the height of the ramp is 9 meter
