Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the described rule, we have

a_1=7\\ \\a_1^2=7^2=49\Rightarrow a_2=4+9+1=14\\ \\a_2^2=14^2=196\Rightarrow a_3=1+9+6+1=17\\ \\a_3^2=17^2=289\Rightarrow a_4=2+8+9+1=20\\ \\a_4^2=20^2=400\Rightarrow a_5=4+0+0+1=5\\ \\a_5^2=5^2=25\Rightarrow a_6=2+5+1=8\\ \\a_6^2=8^2=64\Rightarrow a_7=6+4+1=11\\ \\a_7^2=11^2=121\Rightarrow a_8=1+2+1+1=5\\ \\\text{and so on...}

We can see the pattern

a_5=a_8=a_{11}=a_{14}=...=5\\ \\a_6=a_9=a_{12}=a_{15}=...=8\\ \\a_7=a_{10}=a_{13}=a_{16}=...=11

In other words, for all k\ge 2

a_{3k-1}=5\\ \\a_{3k}=8\\ \\a_{3k+1}=11

Now,

a_{2018}=a_{3\cdot 673-1}=5

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c, and the angle opposite the side of length b is obtuse. What must be true?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer: D.a^2 + b^2 < c^2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure, we have an obtuse triangle which has sides a, b, and c, and the angle opposite the side of length b is obtuse.

∵ In a triangle, the side opposite to the largest angle is largest.

Thus, the largest side in then given obtuse triangle= c

The Pythagorean inequalities theorem says that If a triangle is obtuse than the square of the largest side is greater than the sum of square of other two sides.

Therefore, we have

a^2 + b^2 < c^2

Find the value of x.
azamat

Answer:

98 °

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180. We also know that angle DAB is 122°, meaning that angle CAB is 180-122, which is 58°. We also know that angle CBA is 24 degrees. Therefore, angle x is just 180-(58+24), which is 98
