Determine the explicit formula of the following sequence -3,-18,-108...

Mathematics
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a_{n} = - 3(6)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = - 18 ÷ - 3 = - 108 ÷ - 18 = 6

This indicates the sequence is geometric with n th term ( explicit formula )

a_{n} = a(r)^{n-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = - 3 and r = 6, thus

a_{n} = - 3(6)^{n-1}

A 8-foot tall man is standing beside a 32-foot flagpole. The flagpole is
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The flagpole's shadow is 16.875 feet longer than the man's shadow

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the shadow is expressed by taking its actual length by a factor that depends on the position of the sun which is constant for the man too. The expression is as follows;

Height of the shadow=actual height of the flagpole×factor

where;

length of the flagpole's shadow=22.5 feet

actual height of the flagpole=32 feet

factor=f

replacing;

22.5=32×f

32 f=22.5

f=22.5/32

f=0.703125

Using this factor in the expression below;

Length of man's shadow=actual height of man×factor

where;

length of man's shadow=m

actual height of man=8 feet

factor=0.703125

replacing;

length of man's shadow=8×0.703125=5.625 feet

Determine how much longer the flagpole's shadow is as follows;

flagpoles shadow-man's shadow=22.5-5.625=16.875 feet

The flagpole's shadow is 16.875 feet longer than the man's shadow

Two towns, Ancaster and Dundas, are 4 km and 6 km, respectively, from an old railroad line that has been made into a bike trail.
serg [7]
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point  to the rest stop is  8 - x

You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop. 

Now by the Pythagorean theorem,  y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and  z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2

So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize. 

Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.
