We know that the pole is perpendicular to the ground

And that the length of the pole is 20 feet tall, and the base is 15 feet

Now, the guy wire is a wire that provides support to the pole by connecting the top of the pole to the ground

So this represents a right angled triangle (refer image), and the hypotenuse is the length of the guy wire

Using Pythagoras theorem, we can find out the length of the hypotenuse

⇒ Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

⇒ Hypotenuse² = 20² + 15²

⇒ Hypotenuse² = 400+225

⇒ Hypotenuse² = 625

⇒ Hypotenuse = √625

⇒ Hypotenuse = 25

Hence, the correct option is B  25 ft.

Which recursive formula can be used to generate the sequence shown, where f(1) = 5 and n > 1?
Degger [83]

The recursive formula a_n = a_{n-1}-6 can be used to generate the shown sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive formula is the formula that is used to generate the next term of a sequence using previous term.

The general form of arithmetic sequence's recursive formula is:

a_n = a_{n-1}+d

Given

5,-1,-7,-13,-19

Here

a_1 = 5\\a_2 = -1\\a_3 = -7

First of all we have to find the common difference of the sequence.

So,

d = a_2 -a_1 = -1-5 = -6\\d = a_3-a_2 = -7+1 = -6

Putting the value of d in the general recursive formula

a_n = a_{n-1}-6

Hence,

The recursive formula a_n = a_{n-1}-6 can be used to generate the shown sequence

Can you answer this math homework? Please!
Kay [80]

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 7 \\ 2x + 4y = 8 \\ x = 7 - 3y \\ 2(7 - 3y) + 4y = 8 \\ 14 - 6y + 4y = 8 \\ 14 - 2y = 8 \\  - 2y =  - 6 \\ y = 3 \\ x = 7 - 3(3) \\ x = 7 - 9 \\ x =  - 2
