Answer:

              a₁ = -5, d = 7,  a₂ = 2, a₃ = 9, a₄ = 16

equation of sequence:    \boxed{\bold{a_n=7n-12}}

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ + a₂ + a₃ = 6    

a₁ + a₁ + d + a₁ + 2d = 6

3a₁ + 3d = 6

a₁ + d= 2     ⇒ a₁ = 2 - d

a₄ = 16

a₁ + 3d = 16

2 - r + 3d = 16

2d = 14

d = 7

a₁ = 2-7 = -5

a₁ = -5, d = 7   ⇒  a₂ = -5+7 = 2, a₃ = 2+7 = 9, a₄ = 9+7 = 16

equation of arithmetic sequence:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=-5+7(n-1)\\\\\underline{a_n=7n-12}

Find the value of the variable plz help
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

8y + 36 = 14y -24                Subtract 36 to both sides

8y = 14y - 24 - 36               Combine

8y = 14y - 60                       Subtract 14y from both sides

8y - 14y = - 60

-6y = -60                             Divide by - 6

-6y/-6 = -60/-6

y = 10

===========================

x +48 = 64                        Subtract 48 from both sides

x +48 - 48 = 64-16

x = 16

A 45 foot ladders leaning up against a building. The base of the latter is 20 feet away from the building. What is the angle of
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The angle of elevation to the top of the building is 63.61 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate angle of elevation to the top of the building.

For this, we need a triangle

Please check for this in the attachment.

From the diagram, we are to calculate the angle theta.

To do this, we use trigonometric identities.

Looking at what we have, we have the hypotenuse and the adjacent.

So the trigonometric identity to use is the cosine

Mathematically Cosine theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

Thus, Cos theta = 20/45

Cos theta = 0.444444444444444

Theta = Arc cos(0.444444444444444)

Theta = 63.61 degrees

A cone is cut by a plane parallel to the slant height of the cone. What is the shape of the cross section that is formed?
zimovet [89]
A cross section is a shape formed by cutting an object using a plane. For this case, a cone is sliced parallel to the slant height so the cross section formed would be a plane with a U-like shape. From the image attached, the correct answer is the second option.
