Answer:
a₁ = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is
= 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here
= 1530 and r = 2, thus
= 1530 , that is
a₁ (256 - 1) = 1530
255a₁ = 1530 ( divide both sides by 255 )
a₁ = 6
Answer:
x= −2 or x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
The base of the tent is 72 across the whole way and the hypotenuse is 45
so
to find the length of the stick call it x
half 72 to reduce it to the right hand side triangle
45²-36²=x²
x²=729
x=27 inches<span />
Answer:
18x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+14+13x-2
combine Like terms:
5x+13x
14-2
18x+12
Answer:
18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right angled ; we could use trigonometry ;
Using the angle , 40° ; adjacent side, = 14 feets ; hypotenus = x
Cos θ = Adjacent / hypotenus
Cos 40 = 14 / x
0.7660444 = 14 / x
0.7660444x = 14
x = 14 / 0.7660444
x = 18.27
= 18 ( nearest foot)
