Answer:

Correct answer:  Third answer  aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-5, -10, -20, -40,.....

First term       a₁ = -5

Second term a₂ = -10

Third term     a₃ = -20

Common ratio or quotient

q = a₂ / a₁ = a₃ / a₂ = -10 / -5 = -20 / -10 = 2

q = 2

First term  a₁

Second term a₂ = a₁ · q = a₂ · q²

Third term     a₃ = a₂ · q = a₁ · q³

.....................................................

n-th term aₙ = a₁ · q⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

marin [14]
To find the number of full trucks we can do 1006 / 12. This gives us 83.8333. That is, 83 full trucks and a bit left over.
The bit left over is the answer to the second part, the last truck. 0.8333 is the same as 10/12, so the last truck will have 10 cars in it. If we didn’t know that fraction, we could find the answer by saying 12x83 = 996. 1006 - 996 = 10.

So the final answer is: 83 full trucks and 10 cars in the last truck.

For which value of theta is cot (theta) undefined?
sattari [20]

The cotangent function is defined as the ratio between cosine and sine of a given angle, i.e.


\cot(x) = \frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}


Since you can't have zero at the denominator, the cotangent function is not defined when the sine is zero.


Let's look at your option:


\sin(90^\circ) = 1, so the cotangent is defined here


\sin(180^\circ) = 0, so the cotangent is not defined here


\sin(270^\circ) = -1, so the cotangent is defined here


\sin(450^\circ) = \sin(360^\circ+90^\circ)=\sin(90^\circ) = 1, so the cotangent is defined here
