Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{a_{1}(r^n-1) }{r-1}$

Here a₁ = 4 and r = - 3, thus

$S_{6}$ = $\frac{4((-3)^6-1)}{-3-1}$

= $\frac{4(729-1)}{-4}$ = - (729 - 1) = - 728 → C

A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of theta above the horizontal with an initial speed of v in ft/s. The rang

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

$\theta=24.4^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula you wrote has the fraction the other way around. You can find that the range of a projectile is in reality approximated by the equation $x=\frac{v^2}{g} sin(2\theta)=\frac{v^2}{32ft/s^2} sin(2\theta)$ , where we will use ft for distances.

From the given equation we have then $\frac{x32ft/s^2}{v^2} =sin(2\theta)$ , which means $\theta=\frac{Arcsin(\frac{x32ft/s^2}{v^2})}{2}$ since the arcsin is the inverse function of the sin.

Since we have x = 170 ft and v = 85 ft/s, we can substitute these values from the equation written, and we will have $\theta=\frac{Arcsin(\frac{(170ft)(32ft/s^2)}{(85ft/s)^2})}{2}$ , and from now on we have just to use a calculator, obtaining $\theta=\frac{Arcsin(0.75294117647)}{2}=\frac{48.84579804^\circ}{2}=24.4^\circ$

tangare [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given the amount $8.162

if we are to round this amount to the nearest hundredth, we would have

$8.16

this is because will have already consider the last value in the given digit and this value is not up to 5 hence we are not able to round the number next to it up, but we have to retain its current value of 6.

therefore the value is

$8.16
