Answer:
= 8n - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is
5 - (- 3) = 13 - 5 = 21 - 13 = 8
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 3 and d = 8 , thus
= - 3 + 8(n - 1) = - 3 + 8n - 8 = 8n - 11 ← note this is the second option, that is
f(n) = - 3 + 8(n - 1)
distance = 500 feet
Since Δ VWX and Δ YZX are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
=
completing the required values gives
=
( cross- multiply )
60l = 30 × 100 = 3000 ( divide both sides by 60 )
l = 500
distance across the swamp is 500 feet
Answer:
cos(x) = square root 2 over 2; tan(x) = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
was, before it was rationalized,
Therefore,
The side opposite the reference angle measures 1, the hypotenuse measures square root 2. That makes the reference angle a 45 degree angle. From there we can determine that the side adjacent to the reference angle also has a measure of 1. Therefore,
and
since tangent is side opposite (1) over side adjacent (1),
tan(x) = 1
