a_15 = 90

a_n = 6n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

6, 12, 18, 24,...

First of all we have to find the common difference. The common difference is the difference between consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.

Here,

$d=a_2-a_1 = 12-6 = 6\\d=a_3-a_2= 18-12 = 6$

The general form for arithmetic sequence is:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

Putting the values for a_1 and d

$a_n=6+(n-1)(6)\\a_n=6+6n-6\\a_n=6n$

a) Find a15

$a_{15} = 6(15)\\=90$

b) Write an equation for the nth term.

The equation is: a_n=6n

Hyun Woo is riding a ferris wheel. H t H(t) models his height (in m m) above the ground, t t seconds after the ride starts. Here

Answer:

53 seconds.

Explanation:

The text and the model are garbled.

This is the question amended:

Hyun Woo is riding a ferris wheel. H(t) models his height (in m) above the ground, t seconds after the ride starts. Here, t is entered in radians.

H(t) = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

When does Hyun Woo first reach a height of 16 m?

<h2>Solution</h2>

When Hyun Woo reaches a height of 16 m the model states:

16 = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

Then you must find the lowest positive value of t that is a solution of the equation.

Solve the equation:

16 = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

10cos(2π/150 t) = - 6

cos(2π/150t) = -0.6

2π/150t = arccos(-0.6)

2π/150t = 2.214297

t = 52.86s ≈ 53 s ← answer

Answer:

4/5 acre

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your allocations are ...

goats: 3/5 acre

pigs: 1/5 acre

llamas: 2/5 acre

2 acres is 10/5 acres, so the remaining area is ...

10/5 -3/5 -1/5 -2/5 = (10 -3 -1 -2)/5 = 4/5

4/5 acre is allocated to horses.

Identify the variable that is continuous data used discretely. Select all that apply. There are 3 bugs. The bugs are red, yellow

Nata [24]

Answer:

The age of each bug

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete variables are variables which are counted and can only take on whole number values such as 1, 2, 3...,. For example, the number of students in a class; the number of legs of a spider.

Continuous variables are variables that are measured and can take on a whole range of values such as 1.0, 1.1, 1.2...,. For example, the wingspan of a bug, the length of leaves; the exact age of students in a class.

Though age is a continuous variable if the exact age is required as it can take up a wide range of values such as 2.5 years; 2.3 years, 5.8 days etc,. However, in some instances, it can be rounded up to whole number values in years, months, weeks or even days.

For example, the age of a bug in days could be 1 day, 2 days, or 14 days.

The age of a student who is 12.2 years can be given as 12 years.

A ladder is placed 30 inches from a wall. It touches the wall at a height of 50 inches from the ground.

tankabanditka [31]

To find the length of the ladder, you need to do Pythagorean theorem.
50^2 + 30^2 = x^2
2500 + 900 = x^2
x^2 =3400
x= square root of 3400
58.31 OR 10 root34

To find the angle:
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
50/30 = 5/3
theta = tan inverse of 5/3
= 59.04
