The first term is 8, so
Each time we want a new term, we add on 3
8+3 = 11
11+3 = 14
14+3 = 17
17+3 = 20
23+3 = 26
and so on
This recursive step of adding on 3 to the prior term is written as this: which says "to get the nth term, add 3 to the term just before the nth term"
Based on what you posted for your answer choices, the final answer is likely choice C. However it seems some weird typo happened.
Answer:
66.42°
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
A(5, 3t+2, 2)
B(1, 3t, 2)
C(1, 4t, 3)
BA • BC = 4
Step 1: Find t.
First we have to find vectors BA and BC. We do that by subtracting the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point.
In vector BA B is the initial point and A is the terminal point.
BA = OA - OB = (5-1, 3t+2-3t, 2-2) = (4, 2, 0)
BC = OC - OB = (1-1, 4t-3t, 3-2) = (0, t, 1)
Now we can find t because we know that BA • BC = 4
BA • BC = 4
To find dot product we calculate the sum of the produts of the corresponding components.
BA • BC = (4)(0) + (2)(t) + (0)(1)
4 = (4)(0) + (2)(t) + (0)(1)
4 = 0 + 2t + 0
4 = 2t
2 = t
t = 2
Now we know that:
BA = (4, 2, 0)
BC = (0, 2, 1)
Step 2: Find the angle ∠ABC.
Dot product: a • b = |a| |b| cos(angle)
BA • BC = 4
|BA| |BC| cos(angle) = 4
To get magnitudes we square each compoment of the vector and sum them together. Then square root.
Rounded to two decimal places:
