Answer:

a_n=28-2(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the formula for this problem in the explicit form of:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1), where a_n is the nth term, a_1 is the first term, and d is the common difference

Here, we can say that the "first term" is the 15th term, which is 0, so instead of a_1, we have a_15. The nth term is the 40th term, which is -50, so instead of a_n, we have a_40:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

a_{40}=a_{15}+d(40-15)

-50=0+d(25)

d = -2

Now, we need to find the first term:

a_{15}=a_1+d(15-1)

0=a_1+(-2)(14)

a_1 = 28

Finally, our equation is: a_n=28-2(n-1)

Hope this helps!

The perimeter of the rectangle is 146 units. What is the length of the longCharlene puts together two isosceles triangles so tha
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

21 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given the following parameters or data or information: The legs of the triangles are 10 inches and 17 inches, perimeter of the rectangle is 146 units and length of the base for both triangles is 16 inches long.

Step one: the first step to do in this question is to determine or Calculate the value for the height of the smaller triangle.

Thus, 10^2 = (16/2)^2 + (b1)^2.

b1 = √ (100 - 64) = √ 36 = 6.

Step two: the second step to do in this question is to determine or Calculate the value for the height of the bigger triangle.

17^2 = (16/2)^2 + (b2)^2.

b2 = √ (289 - 64) = √ 225 = 15.

Step three: this is the lat step and it involves the addition of our values in step one and two above, that is;

6 + 15 = 21.

Thus, length of the kite’s other diagonal = 21 inches.

This math is so hard. Please help!
lord [1]

Answer:

f(x)= -(x+1)^2 -2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(x-h)^2 +k; (h,k)

Then you would substitute the x and y of the coordinate and solve.

-6= -(1+1)^2 -2

-6= -(4) -2

-6 = -6
