A sequence<span> is a set of numbers.
</span>If the difference between two consecutive terms is constant, then the sequence is called arithmetic and th<span>e difference is called the common difference.
</span><span>If the numbers in the sequence follow a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio, r, then the sequence is geometric sequence.</span>
To understand the problem, let's first draw a free body diagram of the forces exerted by Judy and Ike on the truck. (Refer to the left side of the attachment).
To solve for the resultant, we just use the tip-to-tail method. This is illustrated on the right side of the attachment.
We can see that the tip-to-tail method forms a right triangle thus we can just apply the Pythagorean theorem in solving for Ike's force.



ANSWER: Ike must pull the truck with a force of 16.0 N.
put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c
2x - y = 16
2x = 16 + y
y = 2x - 16
the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.
you can form this equation with that info
2x = -1
x = -1/2
OR
you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1
2/1
= -1/2
the factor for this expression is 7
You cant solve for x or y
