Step-by-step answer:
Please refer to attached image.
1. Quad PQRS is cyclic (all vertices on the same circle), so opposite angles are supplementary, meaning
that
angles QPS and QRS are supplementary =>
QPS+QRS=180 =>
QRS = 180 - 74 = 106
2. Triangle RSQ is isosceles with RS=RQ =>
angles RSQ and RQS are congruent.
3. Angle RSQ = (180 - 106) /2 = 74 / 2 = 37
4. QP is a diameter => angle QSP is a right-angle.
5. From (3) and (4) above,
angle RSP = 37+90 = 127
6. Since PQRS is cyclic, angles RQP and RSP are supplementary =>
RQP+RSP = 180 =>
x + 127 = 180 =>
x = 180 - 127 = 53 degrees.
We are given
arithmetic sequence: u(1)= 124, u(2)= 117, u(3)= 110, u(4)=103
so, first term is 124
u(1)= 124
now, we can find common difference
now, we can find kth term
now, we can plug values
and we get
u(k) must be negative
so,
now, we can solve for k
so, it's closest integer value is
