Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
here is some helpful trig function reminders.. copy this and keep it
Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle
SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp
CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp
TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj
they ask how long is the ladder
they give us the opposite side (8) and the adjacent side (6)
and the Hyp is the length of the ladder. They expect you to sort this out in your head. :/
there is two steps .. we'll solve for the angle.. then we can use that to find the Hyp side..(long side of triangle) which is the ladder length
Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj
Tan(Ф) = 8 / 6
Ф = arcTan(8 / 6)
Ф ≈ 53.130°
now lets use that angle with one of the other trig functions to find the Hyp.. sin or cos will work b/c we have both the opp and the adj sides lengths. let's use cos
Cos(53.130) = 6 / Hyp
Hyp = 6 / Cos(53.130) ( I just used algebra to swap the two)
Hyp = 9.99997
the ladder will be 10' long.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
In general for arithmetic sequences, recursive formulas are of the form
aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d,
and the explicit formula (like tₙ in your problem), are of the form
aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d,
where d is the common difference. So converting between the two of these isn't so bad. In this case, your problem wants you to have an idea of what t₁ is (well, every answer says it's -5, so there you are) and what tₙ₊₁ is. Using the formulas above and your given tₙ = -5 + (n - 1)78, we can see that the common difference is 78, so no matter what we get ourselves into, the constant being added on at the end should be 78. That automatically throws out answer choice D.
But to narrow it down between the rest of them, you want to use the general form for the recursive formula and substitute (n + 1) for every instance of n. This will let you find tₙ₊₁ to match the requirements of your answer choices. So
tₙ₊₁ = t₍ₙ₊₁₎₋₁ + d ... Simplify the subscript
tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + d
Therefore, your formula for tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + 78, which is answer choice C.
