Answer:

f(x) = 48(0.5)^n - 1 ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The number of alligators changes each week

∵ The number in week 1 is 28

∵ The number in week 2 is 24

∵ The number in week 3 is 12

∵ The number in week 4 is 6

∴ The number of alligators is halved each week

∴ The number of alligators each week = half the number of alligators

   of the previous week

- The number of alligators formed a geometric series in which the

  first term is 48 and the constant ratio is 1/2

∵ Any term in the geometric series is Un = a r^(n - 1), where a is the

  first term and r is the constant ratio

∴ f(n) = a r^(n - 1)

∵ a = 48 ⇒ The number of alligators in the first week

∵ r = 1/2 = 0.5

∴ f(x) = 48(0.5)^n - 1

Please please help me out..........
Tema [17]

Answer:

For the parallelogram to be a rectangle, at least one angle must be a right angle or a 90° angle, we know that:

    13x + 34° + 10x + 10° = 90°

=> 13x + 10x                   = 90° - 34° - 10°

=> 23x                            = 46°

=> x                                 = 46°/23 = 2°
