Answer:

1). Arithmetic mean

2). Recursive formula: a_{n}=a_{n-1}+17

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah is collecting recyclables for a science project. On day 1 she collects 35 recyclable objects, on day 2 she collected 52 and on day 3 she collected 69 recyclables.

So, sequence of recyclable objects formed was 35, 52, 69 .........

If this sequence is an arithmetic sequence then each successive term will have a common difference and if it's a geometric sequence then there will be a common ratio in each successive term.

Now common difference = d=T_{2}-T_{1}=T_{3}-T_{2}

52 - 35 = 17

69 - 52 = 17

Therefore, it's an arithmetic sequence.

Now we know the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n}=a_{n-1}+d

Here d = 17

So, recursive formula will be a_{n}=a_{n-1}+17

The scneario here expressed is an aritmetic sequence because it can be explained like this: 

<span><span><span>a1</span>=35
</span><span><span>an</span>=<span>a<span>n−1</span></span>+<span>17

So all the variables can fit in and will be better explained than a geometric sequence in which you need a common ratio and that is not needed in this case</span></span></span>

Answer:

Solution ( Second Attachment ) : - 2.017 + 0.656i

Solution ( First Attachment ) : 16.140 - 5.244i

Step-by-step explanation:

Second Attachment : The quotient of the two expressions would be the following,

6\left[\cos \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{2\pi \:}{5}\right)\right] ÷ 2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi }{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:}{2}\right)\right]

So if we want to determine this expression in standard complex form, we can first convert it into trigonometric form, then apply trivial identities. Either that, or we can straight away apply the following identities and substitute,

( 1 ) cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x)

( 2 ) sin(x) = cos(π / 2 - x)

If cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x), then cos(2π / 5) = sin(π / 2 - 2π / 5) = sin(π / 10). Respectively sin(2π / 5) = cos(π / 2 - 2π / 5) = cos(π / 10). Let's simplify sin(π / 10) and cos(π / 10) with two more identities,

( 1 ) \cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \left(x\right)}{2}}

( 2 ) \sin \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \left(x\right)}{2}}

These two identities makes sin(π / 10) = \frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}, and cos(π / 10) = \frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}.

Therefore cos(2π / 5) = \frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}, and sin(2π / 5) = \frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}. Substitute,

6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right] ÷ 2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi }{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:}{2}\right)\right]

Remember that cos(- π / 2) = 0, and sin(- π / 2) = - 1. Substituting those values,

6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right] ÷ 2\sqrt{2}\left[0-i\right]

And now simplify this expression to receive our answer,

6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right] ÷ 2\sqrt{2}\left[0-i\right] = -\frac{3\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}+\frac{3\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}i,

-\frac{3\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4} = -2.01749\dots and \:\frac{3\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4} = 0.65552\dots

= -2.01749+0.65552i

As you can see our solution is option c. - 2.01749 was rounded to - 2.017, and 0.65552 was rounded to 0.656.

________________________________________

First Attachment : We know from the previous problem that cos(2π / 5) = \frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}, sin(2π / 5) = \frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}, cos(- π / 2) = 0, and sin(- π / 2) = - 1. Substituting we receive a simplified expression,

6\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}-6i\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}

We know that 6\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}} = 16.13996\dots and -\:6\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}} = -5.24419\dots . Therefore,

Solution : 16.13996 - 5.24419i

Which rounds to about option b.

If sin^2(x) - 2sin(x) = 2, then sin(x) = _____.
alekssr [168]
Let z = sin(x).
.. z^2 -2z = 2
.. z^2 -2z +1 = 3
.. (z -1)² = 3
.. z -1 = ±√3
.. z = 1 -√3 . . . . . the positive solution is extraneous

sin(x) = 1 -√3
