A triangle has a bottom left angle of (x + 15) degrees and a bottom right angle of (x degrees). 1 parallel and horizontal line s
its at the top point of the triangle. Another parallel and horizontal line sits at the base of the triangle. The exterior angle to the bottom right angle of the triangle is (4 x minus 20) degrees.
What is the value of x?
What is the value of x?
1 answer:
Answer:
<em>The value of x is 40°</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle described in the text of the question is shown in the image attached.
Note the angles x and 4x-20 are supplementary since they form a line. Thus:
x + 4x - 20 = 180
Simplifying:
5x - 20 = 180
Adding 20:
5x = 200
Solving:
x = 200/5 = 40
The value of x is 40°

Answer:
The sequence can be represented by the formula of its nth term:
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that we are in the presence of an alternate sequence (the values alternate from negative to positive. Therefore we need to take into account that there should be a factor "-1" raised to the "n" value for the sequence. Also, given that the sequence looks in absolute value like the harmonic sequence, we conclude upon the following general form for the "nth" term of the sequence:
