A surveyor wants to find the distance AB across a lake in the diagram. He locates a point C and the midpoints M and N of AC and

BC respectively. By direct measurement, MN = 28 m. It is known that Angle ABC and Angle MNC are similar. Find the distance AB.

AB = 56 because the bigger triangle is 2 times the smaller one.

Write a recursive definition for the sequence 14, 10, 6, 2...

VladimirAG [237]

The general form of recursive definition for arithmetic sequence:
$a_{n}=a_{1}+d(n-1)$

So, what we need to do is to find $a_{1}$ and $d$ .
$a_{1}=14$
$d=a_{2}-a_{1}=10-14=-4$
Having found these two values we can now define our recursive sequence:
$a_{n}=14-4(n-1)$
$a_{n}=14-4n+4$
$a_{n}=18-4n$

Jones covered a distance of 50 miles on his first trip. On a later trip he traveled 300 miles while going three times as fast. H

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer is b. But you asked for the thought process so...

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of the 1st trip x miles / hr. and speed of the 2nd trip 3x / hr.

We know that

Speed = Distance/Time.

Or, Time = Distance/Speed.

So, the time taken to cover a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.

And the time taken to cover a distance of 300 miles on his later trip = 300/3x hr.

= 100/x hr.

So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.

Have a great day :)
