Determine the 4th term in the geometric sequence whose first term is -2 and whose common ratio is -5

1 answer:

4 0

Again, any geometric sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=ar^(n-1), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number

We are told that a=-2 and r=-5 so:

a(4)=-2(-5)^(4-1)

a(4)=-2(-5)^3

a(4)=250

As the figure shows Elton runs 500 m to point b first then he turns 100 degrees and runs another 350 m to point c how far is the

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

658.24 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the point from where Elton started. Connect points A and C, you get triangle ABC with AB=500 m, BC=350 m and m∠B=100°. Use the cosine rule to determine the length of the segment AC:

$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2-2\cdot AB\cdot BC\cdot \cos \angle B,\\ \\AC^2=500^2+350^2-2\cdot 500\cdot 350\cdot \cos 100^{\circ},\\ \\AC^2=250000+122500-350000\cdot (-0.174),\\ \\AC^2\approx 433276.8622,\\ \\ AC\approx 658.24\ m.$
