The missing figure is attached

The value of a is 5\frac{1}{3} ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let as revise the Pythagoras Theorem

In the right triangle ABC, where ∠B is a right angle (AC is the hypotenuse, Ab and BC are the legs of the right angle)

  • (AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²
  • (AB)² = (AC)² - (BC)²
  • (BC)² = (AC)² - (AB)²

If BD is drawn perpendicular to AC, we can use these rules

  • (AB)² = AD × AC
  • (BC)² = CD × AC
  • (BD)² = AD × CD
  • AB × BC = BD × AC

In Δ WYZ

∵ m∠WYZ = 90°

- By using Pythagoras Theorem

∴ (WZ)² = (WY)² + (YZ)²

∵ WY = 4 units

∵ YZ = 3 units

∵ WZ = c units

∴ c² = (4)² + (3)²

∴ c² = 16 + 9 = 25

- Take √ for both sides

∴ c = 5

In Δ XWZ

∵ m∠XWZ = 90°

∵ WY ⊥ XZ

- We can use the rule (WZ)² = ZY × ZX

∵ (WZ)² = ZY × ZX

∵ WZ = 5 units

∵ ZY = 3 units

∵ ZX = (3 + a) units

∴ (5)² = 3(3 + a)

∴ 25 = 9 + 3a

- Subtract 9 from both sides

∴ 16 = 3a

- Divide both sides by 3

∴ a = 5\frac{1}{3}

The value of a is 5\frac{1}{3}

Given the arithmetic sequence: u(1)= 124, u(2)= 117, u(3)= 110, u(4)=103,...
omeli [17]

We are given

arithmetic sequence: u(1)= 124, u(2)= 117, u(3)= 110, u(4)=103

so, first term is 124

u(1)= 124

now, we can find common difference

d=u(2)-u(1)

d=117-124

d=-7

now, we can find kth term

u(k)=u(1)+(k-1)d

now, we can plug values

and we get

u(k)=124+(k-1)*-7

u(k)=124-7k+7

u(k)=131-7k

u(k) must be negative

so,

u(k)=131-7k

131-7k

now, we can solve for k

7k>131

k>18.714

so, it's closest integer value is

k=19..............Answer
