Answer:

<h3>             a₁ = -1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_8=a_1+d\cdot7\\\\a_{20}=a_1+d\cdot19\\\\a_{20}-a_8=a_1+19d-(a_1+7d)=12d\\\\56-20=2d\\\\12d=36\\\\d=3\\\\\\ a_1+3\cdot7=20\\\\a_1=20-21=-1

A woman 5 ft tall walks at the rate of 7.5 ft/sec away from a streetlight that is 10 ft above the ground. At what rate is the ti
lesya [120]
Height of the woman = 5 ft
Rate at which the woman is walking = 7.5 ft/sec
Let us assume the length of the shadow = s
Le us assume the <span>distance of the woman's feet from the base of the streetlight = x
</span>Then
s/5 = (s + x)/12
12s = 5s + 5x
7s = 5x
s = (5/7)x
Now let us differentiate with respect to t
ds/dt = (5/7)(dx/dt)
We already know that dx/dt = 7/2 ft/sec
Then
ds/dt = (5/7) * (7/2)
        = (5/2)
        = 2.5 ft/sec
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the rate at which the tip of her shadow is moving is 2.5 ft/sec.
