4 0

Answer:

6, 10, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ= aₙ₋₁ - (aₙ₋₂ - 4)= aₙ₋₁ - aₙ₋₂ + 4

a₅= -2

a₆= 0

-----------

aₙ₋₂= aₙ₋₁ - aₙ + 4

  • a₄= a₅- a₆ + 4 = -2 - 0 + 4 = 2
  • a₃= a₄ - a₅ + 4 = 2 - (-2) + 4 = 8
  • a₂= a₃ - a₄ + 4 = 8 - 2 + 4 = 10
  • a₁= a₂ - a₃ + 4 = 10 - 8 + 4 = 6

The first 3 terms: 6, 10 and 8

suter [353]

Answer:

100r^4 + 400r^3 + 600r^2 + 400r + 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding ( r + 1 )^4 gives :-

r^4 + 4r^3 + 6r^2 + 4r + 1

So multiplying 100 with r^4 + 4r^3 + 6r^2 + 4r + 1 gives :-

100r^4 + 400r^3 + 600r^2 + 400r + 100

Find the surface area of a cylinder with the following dimensions. Use 3. 14 for $. Round your answer to the nearest
kupik [55]

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

r=d/2=11.4/2=5.7

slant surface area=2πr*h=11.4×3.14×4.4=157.5024 cm^2

area of base and top=2(πr²)=2×3.14×(5.7)²=204.0372 cm²

total surface area=157.5024+204.0372=361.5396=361.5 sq. cm

Find the value of x.
agasfer [191]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ 18}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles are inside a right angle. The small box signifies a right angle/ 90° angle.

Therefore, the sum of the angle measures must equal 90. We can set up an equation.

56+(x+16)=90

Combine the like terms on the right side. The 2 constants: 56 and 16 can be added.

(56+16)+x=90\\

72+x=90

Since we are solving for x, we must isolate the variable. 72 and x are being added. The inverse of addition is subtraction, so subtract 72 from both sides.

72-72+x=90-72

x=18

x is equal to 18 and choice A is correct.
