sn =  \frac{a(1 -  {r}^{n}) }{1 - r}
hence,

65=5(1-3^n)/1-3
( multiply by -2 on both sides )
130=5(1-3^n)
26=1-3^n
27=3^n

from here, you can use lg to solve for n.

lg 27 = lg 3^n
lg 27 = n lg 3
n = lg 27 ÷ lg 3

hence, n = 3

) a rectangular box has length 12 inches, width 20 inches, and a height of 7 inches. find the angle between the diagonal of the
nlexa [21]

We assume the base is 12 in × 20 in, so its diagonal has length

... √(12² +20²) = √(144 +400) = √544 = 4√34 . . . inches

Then the tangent of the angle of interest is the ratio of the box height to the base diagonal:

... tan(α) = (7 in)/(4√34 in) ≈ 0.300123

The angle will be the arctangent of this value,

... α = arctan(7/√544) ≈ 0.291569 radians
