The volume of a triangular prism is V = 1/2 x a x c x h where a is height of the triangle, c is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the prism.
120 = 1/2 x a x c x h; we write a from the previous equation in terms of c and h thus,
a = 240 / ( c x h)
If the dimensions where halved then a = a/2 ; c = c/2 ; h=h/2
We use the volume formula again and substitute the given values to find the new volume,
V = 1/2 x a/2 x c/2 x h/2
Substitute the previously determined a term,
V = 1/2 x (240/2ch) x c/2 x h/2
We cancel and evaluate the constants therefore the new volume is,
V= 15 cm^3

What is 4.735 rounded to the nearest one
JulsSmile [24]
So based on place values, the One's place is occupied by 4. To round to this digit, you go one number to the right. If that number is 5 or higher, you add one to 4. If it is less than 5, you don't add any to 4. Since 7 is greater than 5, you add 1 to 4, giving you 5, since you can now remove all the other numbers to the right.

An arithmetic sequence is defined by the general term tn = -5 + (n - 1)78, where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. What is the recursive formula o
Gnoma [55]

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.
