T_n = 3 * T_(n-1)

Long way (always works!)
T_5 = 3*T_4,
T_4 = 3*T_3
T_3 = 3*T_2
T_2 = 3*T_1

T_5 = 3*3*3*3*T_1 = 81*T_1 = 81*8 = 648!

Short way (sometimes it works!)

T_n = 3^(n-1) * T_1 (this case is a geometric series of ratio-=3)
T_5 = 3^4*8 = 648

A power lifter is leg-pressing 720 pounds on a leg press machine. The angle of the press is 60 degrees. What is the actual weigh

Triss [41]

Since, the angle between the machine and angle of press is $60^{\circ}$ as shown in the attached image.

Therefore, the actual weight lifted by the power lifter is given by $w \times \cos \Theta$

where 'w' stands for the weight being lifted and $\Theta$ is the angle of press.

Now,

actual weight lifted by the power lifter = $720 \times \cos 60^{\circ}$

= $720 \times \frac{1}{2} = 360$ pounds.
