Which value represents the first two terms of the sequence a1=2 and an=-3(an-1)^2?

1 answer:

8 0

I'm not really sure what you're asking, but if you want to calculate the first two terms of the sequence after a1, then here's the answer:
If a1=2, then a2 = -3(a1 - 1)^2 = -3(2-1)^2 = -3*(-1)^2 = -3*1 = -3.
Then, a3 = -3(a2 - 1)^2 = -3(-3-1)^2 = -3(-4)^2 = -3*16 = -48.
I'm sorry if this is not what you wanted.

In the figure, AB║CD and ∠EIA is congruent to ∠GJB Complete the following statements to prove that ∠IKL is congruent to ∠DLH.

REY [17]

Here it is given that AB || CD

< EIA = <GJB

Now

∠EIA ≅ ∠IKC and ∠GJB is ≅ ∠ JLD (Corresponding angles)

∠EIA ≅ ∠GJB then ∠IKC ≅ ∠ JLD (Substitution Property of Congruency)

∠IKL + ∠IKC 180° and ∠DLH + ∠JLD =180° (Linear Pair Theorem)

m∠IKL + m∠IKC = 180° ....(1)

But ∠IKC ≅ ∠JLD

m∠IKC = m∠JLD (SUBTRACTION PROPERTY OF CONGRUENCY)

So we have

m∠IKL + m∠JLD = 180°

∠IKL and ∠JLD are supplementary angles.

But ∠DLH and ∠JLD are supplementary angles.

∠IKL ≅ ∠DLH (CONGRUENT SUPPLEMENTS THEOREM)

wariber [46]

Answer:

3575880

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use Permutation method,

$nPr= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

Where n is the sample of size and r the combination considered, so

$n=45\\r=4\\45P4= \frac{45!}{(45-4)!}\\45P4 = 3575880$

There is 3575880 possibilities to make leadership structures in that committee

The resale value of a bike decreases by 14% per year. A new bike is valued at $350. Approximate the resale value after 4 years t

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: $‭191.45

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires the price of a bike in future so you can use the future value formula to calculate it:

Future value = Amount * (1 + rate)^ no. of periods

= 350 * (1 - 14%)⁴

= 350 * ‭0.54700816‬

= $‭191.45

<em>The rate is subtracted from 1 instead of being added to represent that the value is decreasing not increasing. </em>
