Answer:
a1 = 24
an = an-1 × 1/2, n >1
Step-by-step explanation:
a geometric sequence is a sequence where we multiply every previous term by a certain factor to create the next term.
so, we multiply 24 by something to get 12.
and then 12 by the same something to get 6.
and then 6 by the and something to get 3.
do you see the pattern ? hmmm ?
right, we always divide by 2 (or multiply by 1/2).
the starting value a1 = 24
so,
an = an-1 × 1/2, n>1
or
n>1
The correct measurements of the surveyors movement from all the options are; m∠b = 15° and h ≈ 31.28 ft
<h3>What are the correct elevation measurements?</h3>
From the image attached, we see that;
A surveyor found the angle of elevation from the ground to the top from a point = 33°
Now, the surveyor moves 20 ft towards the building and the angle of elevation becomes 48°. This means that ∠A and 48° are supplementary to each other.
Thus;
∠A + 48° = 180°
∠A = 180 - 48
∠A = 132°
From sum of angles in a triangle;
∠B + 33° + 132° = 180°
∠B = 180 - 165°
∠B = 15°
Using sine rule, we know that;
sin 33/C = sin B/20
Thus;
sin 33/C = sin 15/20
Solving for C gives;
C = 42.22
From trigonometric ratios, h/c = sin 48
h = 42.22 sin 48
h = 31.28 ft
