To find the reciprocal of a fraction, you switch the numerator and denominator, for example the reciprocal of 2/5 is 5/2. With our mixed number, we convert to an improper fraction, 17/3Then we find the reciprocal, which is 3/17. I hope this helps!
The diameter is approximately 32.72 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as
y = mx + c
Where
m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)
The equation of the given line is
x + 2y = 4
2y = - x + 4
y = -x/2 + 4/2
y = - x/2 + 2
Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/2
If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 2, 1) is 2
To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 2 and y = 1 into y = mx + c. It becomes
1 = 2 × - 2 + c = - 4 + c
c = 1 + 4 = 5
The equation becomes
y = 2x + 5

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
In general for arithmetic sequences, recursive formulas are of the form
aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d,
and the explicit formula (like tₙ in your problem), are of the form
aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d,
where d is the common difference. So converting between the two of these isn't so bad. In this case, your problem wants you to have an idea of what t₁ is (well, every answer says it's -5, so there you are) and what tₙ₊₁ is. Using the formulas above and your given tₙ = -5 + (n - 1)78, we can see that the common difference is 78, so no matter what we get ourselves into, the constant being added on at the end should be 78. That automatically throws out answer choice D.
But to narrow it down between the rest of them, you want to use the general form for the recursive formula and substitute (n + 1) for every instance of n. This will let you find tₙ₊₁ to match the requirements of your answer choices. So
tₙ₊₁ = t₍ₙ₊₁₎₋₁ + d ... Simplify the subscript
tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + d
Therefore, your formula for tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + 78, which is answer choice C.
