Answer:

The formula to the sequence

-5, 10/3, -20/9, 40/27, -80/81, ...

is

(-1)^n. 5×2^(n-1). 3^(1-n)

For n = 1, 2, 3, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is

-5, 10/3, -20/9, 40/27, -80/81, ...

By inspection, we see the following

- The numbers are alternating between - and +

- The numerator of a number is twice the numerator of the preceding number. The first number is 5.

- The denominator of a number is 3 raised to the power of (1 minus the position of the number)

Using these, we can write a formula for the sequence.

(-1)^n for n = 1, 2, 3, ... takes care of the alternation between + and -

5×2^(n-1) for n = 1, 2, 3, ... takes care of the numerators 5, 10, 20, 40, ...

3^(1-n) for n = 1, 2, 3, ... takes care of the denominators 1, 3, 9, 27, ...

Combining these, we have the formula to be

(-1)^n. 5×2^(n-1). 3^(1-n)

For n = 1, 2, 3, ...

The correct answer is 120 degrees.

With the bigger triangle you can add all of the angles to get 60 degrees. (35+25)

This leaves you with a 120 degrees angle in the unmarked corner of the triangle. Any horizontal line and any triangle is 180 in total.

So with a 120 degree angle in the corner this leaves us with a 60 angle in the smaller triangle. ( The smaller triangle equals 60 degrees in all corners, it is equalateral ).

X is on a horizontal line and we now know that the one side of the line equals 60 degrees and any horizontal line equals 180 in total, this means that the measure of X is 120, (60+120)

X is 120 :)

Answer: 51.9 degrees
Step by step explanation:
Sin(71)/35.6=Sin(x)/21.3
21.3Sin(71)=35.6Sin(x)
21.3Sin(71)/25.6=sin(x)
Sin^-1(21.3Sin(71)/25.6)=x
51.87827502 degrees=x
51.9= angle x

Hey guys! I’m having a lot of trouble with this paper, would anyone mind explaining one of them to me?

Answer: See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

This worksheet seems to be about "Special Right Triangles"

In this worksheet, it instructs you to find the missing side lengths.

Explaining number 1)

Step 1) Identifying the triangle and what it means

Since the triangle in number one is a 45-45-90 triangle with the given side length of "1" on one of the legs of the triangle, it can be concluded that the other leg also has a side length of "1" (due to the ratio of side on a 45-45-90 degree triangle), is also states the triangle has 45 degrees labeled on one of the angles, is can also be concluded that the other missing angle is 45 degrees.

Step 2) Answer

The answer to b is 1 and the answer to a is square root of 2, due to the properties of a 45 45 90 triangle (refer attachment)
