Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that to find the area of a triangle you have to multiply the base times the height and divide it by two or multiply it by 1/2.Looking the information given it say that theta is equal to 26 degrees and the length of a or the hypotenuse is 25 and b which in this case is the base is 32. So the information gives us the base but now we need to find the height.

To find H we need to apply trigonometry solve for h the height.

As we could see theta which is 26 degrees is opposite the height and we know the hypotenuse length. So using soh cah toh we have to know that the length of h is going to be using the sin formula opposite over hypotenuse.

$sin(26)=\frac{h}{25}$ solve for h by multiplying both sides by 25.

h= 25 sin(26)

h= 10.96 is being rounded to the nearest hundredth because that is essential

Now we know H is equal to 10.96 which is the Height so now we have all the information we need the height and the base.

Multiply 10.96 by 32 and divide it by 2.

10.96 * 32 = 350.72

350.72 /2 = 176.36

The best answer is A because that is the only best approximation to 175.35.

An arithmetic sequence is defined by the general term tn = -5 + (n - 1)78, where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. What is the recursive formula o

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In general for arithmetic sequences, recursive formulas are of the form

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d,

and the explicit formula (like tₙ in your problem), are of the form

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d,

where d is the common difference. So converting between the two of these isn't so bad. In this case, your problem wants you to have an idea of what t₁ is (well, every answer says it's -5, so there you are) and what tₙ₊₁ is. Using the formulas above and your given tₙ = -5 + (n - 1)78, we can see that the common difference is 78, so no matter what we get ourselves into, the constant being added on at the end should be 78. That automatically throws out answer choice D.

But to narrow it down between the rest of them, you want to use the general form for the recursive formula and substitute (n + 1) for every instance of n. This will let you find tₙ₊₁ to match the requirements of your answer choices. So

tₙ₊₁ = t₍ₙ₊₁₎₋₁ + d ... Simplify the subscript

tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + d

Therefore, your formula for tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + 78, which is answer choice C.

A 20-gallon salt-water solution contains 15% pure salt. How much pure water should be added to it to produce a 10% solution?

Elanso [62]

15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.

If we add x gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + x) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or

10% of (20 + x) gal = 0.1 * (20 + x) gal = 2 + 0.1x gal

of salt.

The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for x :

2 + 0.1x = 3

0.1x = 1

x = 10 gal
