8 0

Answer:

4

Explanation:

a_1=8,a_7=0

Since the third term is the sum of the two previous terms

a_3=a_2+a_1

a_7=a_6+a_5

a_7=a_5+a_4+a_4+a_3

Continuing in like manner

a_7=5a_3+3a_2

Since a_3=a_2+a_1

a_7=5(a_2+a_1+3a_2

a_7=5a_2+5a_1+3a_2

a_7=8a_2+5a_1

Recall: a_1=8,a_7=0

0=8a_2+5*8

8a_2=-40

a_2=-5

The sequence is therefore:

8,-5,3,-2,1,-1,0

The sum of the seven numbers is 4.

It is 3 - kilometer hike to river PJ walks for 500 meters. Then he walks another 1,050 meters. How many more kilometers must PJ
Leviafan [203]
Conversion:
3 km - 3000m
0.5 km - 500 m
1.05 km - 1050 m

Solution:
3, 000 m = 500m + 1050m + n
3, 000 m = 1550m + n
n = 3, 000 m - 1550m
n = 1450m

1.45 kilometers must PJ hike to reach the river.

If sin ZA = { and cos ZA = }, what is tan ZA?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

A: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

sine is the length of the opposite side / length the hypotenuse side

cosine is the length of the adjacent side / length the hypotenuse side

using what's given:

  • the opposite side has a length of 3
  • the adjacent side has a length of 4
  • the hypotenuse side has a length of 5

Tangent is the ratio between the opposite side length and the adjacent side length (opp/adj). With our givens, this means tan(A) = 3/4. See image for more.

An evergreen nursery usually sells a certain shrub after 7 years of growth and shaping. The growth rate during those 7 years is
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

( 0.6 t^2 + 3t + 11 ) cm

Step-by-step explanation:

dh/dt = 1.2t + 3

at t = 0, h = 11 cm

(a)

dh / dt = 1.2 t + 3

dh = (1.2 t + 3) dt

integrate on both sides

h = 0.6 t^2 + 3t + c    .... (1)

where c is the integrating constant

put t = 0

11 = c

Put in equation (1) , we get

h = ( 0.6 t^2 + 3t + 11 ) cm

Thus, teh height of tree after t years is given by

( 0.6 t^2 + 3t + 11 ) cm.
