Answer:

  a_n = 3^(n -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is given by ...

  a_n = a1·r^(n-1)

Your sequence has first term 1 and ratio r=3, so the sequence is given by ...

  a_n = 3^(n -1)

<em>Comment on sequences and series</em>

The sequences we commonly study are "arithmetic" and "geometric." Each of these has an explicit formula for the n-th term, based on the first term and the common difference or ratio. Similarly, each series (sum of terms of a sequence) also has a formula. That's 4 formulas to keep track of; not difficult. One of them, the formula for the n-th term of a geometric sequence, is shown above.

Answer:

<em> The distance from your eyes to the stage is 8.85 ft</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Your distance to the stage is 6 feet

Your eyes are 6.5 feet tall

You need to find the distance of your eyes towards the stage.

This situation can be modeled using a rectangle triangle, where the adjacent side x is the horizontal distance to the stage and the opposite side h is the vertical distance of your eyes to the stage.

<u>Observe the attached image.</u>

Then, we look for the distance z from your eyes to the stage. This distance is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

So, using the Pythagorean theorem we have:

z ^ 2 = h ^ 2 + x ^ 2\\\\z = \sqrt{h^2 +x^2}

Where

h = 6.5\ ft\\\\x = 6\ ft

therefore:

z = \sqrt{(6.5)^2 +(6)^2}\\\\z =8.85\ ft
