The first term of the sequence is already given to be 3. Use this value to obtain the second term.
                                     a2 = 2(a1)^2 = 2(3)² = 18
Use the value of the second term to get the third term through the equation,
                                     a3 = 2(a2)² = 2(18)² = 648
Thus, the answer to this item is letter B.

As part of his math assignment, Santos has to estimate the height
ycow [4]

Answer:

105.46 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know all three angles (60, 90, and 30), as well as one side, which is adjacent to the 60 degrees. We want to find the side opposite to the 60 degree angle. To do this, we can use tangent, utilizing both opposite and adjacent.

Using tan, we can say that tan(60) = x/58, with x representing the height of the lighthouse (minus 5, because Santos is 5 feet tall and he is measuring the angle from the top of his head). Multiplying both sides by 58, we can get that 58 *tan(60) = x = 100.46. Add 5 to that to get 105.46 feet as your answer.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

So, the step1 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is

(6 x^3 + 8 x^2 - 7 x)-(2x^2 + 3)(x- 8)\\\\(6 x^3 + 8 x^2 - 7 x) - (2x^3 - 16  x^2 + 3 x - 24)\\\\6 x^3 + 8 x^2 - 7 x - 2 x^3 - 16 x^2 + 3 x - 24\\\\4 x^3 - 8 x^2 - 4 x - 24

So, the step 1 is correct.

an apple is cut into 10 pieces. 0.8 of the apple is eaten. which fraction ,in simplest form ,represents the amount of the apple
nika2105 [10]
The apple is cut into 10 pieces so each piece is 1/10 of the apple. 1/10=.1; .8=8/10 so 8 pieces are eaten. 2 pieces are left which is 2/10 of the apple which simplifies to 1/5 because 2 and 10 are both divisible by 2. 2 divided by itself is 1 and 10 divided by 2 is 5. So the amount of the apple left in simplest form of a fraction is 1/5.
