Answer:

\huge\boxed{6,\ -30;\ 78;\ -246;\ 690}

Step-by-step explanation:

a_1=6\\a_n=-3a_{n-1}-12\qquad n\geq2\\\\\text{Substitute}\ n=2,\ n=3,\ n=4,\ n=5\ \text{to}\ a_n=-3a_{n-1}-12:\\\\\text{for}\ n=2\\\\a_2=-3a_{2-1}-12=-3a_1-12\\\\\text{substitute}\ a_1=6\\\\a_2=-3(6)-12=-18-12=-30\\\\\text{for}\ n=3\\\\a_3=-3a_{3-1}-12=-3a_2-12\\\\\text{substitute}\ a_2=-30\\\\a_3=-3(-30)-12=90-12=78

\text{for}\ n=4\\\\a_4=-3a_{4-1}-12=-3a_3-12\\\\\text{substitute}\ a_3=78\\\\a_4=-3(78)-12=-234-12=-246\\\\\text{for}\ n=5\\\\a_5=-3a_{5-1}-12=-3a_4-12\\\\\text{substitute}\ a_4=-246\\\\a_5=-3(-246)-12=702-12=690

Can someone help me with this? sin150° =
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

sin(150°) = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study how we can solve this problem

- At first the measure of the angle is 150°

- Ask your self in which quadrant can you find this measure

* To know the answer lets revise the four quadrants

# First quadrant the measure of all angles is between 0° and 90°

  the measure of any angle is α

∴ All the angles are acute

∴ All the trigonometry functions of α are positive

# Second quadrant the measure of all angles is between 90° and 180°

  the measure of any angle is 180° - α

∴ All the angles are obtuse

∴ The value of sin(180° - α) only is positive ⇒ sin(180° - α) = sinα

# Third quadrant the measure of all angles is between 180° and 270°

  the measure of any angle is 180° + α

∴ All the angles are reflex

∴ The value of tan(180° + α) only is positive ⇒ tan(180° + α) = tanα

# Fourth quadrant the measure of all angles is between 270° and 360°

  the measure of any angle is 360° - α

∴ All the angles are reflex

∴ The value of cos(360° - α) only is positive ⇒ cos(360° - α) = cosα

* Now lets check the angle of measure 150

- It is an obtuse angle

∴ It is in the second quadrant

∴ the value of sin(150) is positive

∴ sin(150°) = sinα

∵ 180 - α = 150 ⇒ isolate α

∵ α = 180° - 150° = 30°

∴ sin(150°) = sin(30°)

∵ sin(30°) = 1/2

∴ sin(150°) = 1/2
