(1) since the horizontal lines are parallel, and you know the vertical intersecting line crosses at right angle, it must be that the two angles with variable x sum up to 90 degrees. So same rewritten as an equation:

x+8+6x-58 = 90

7x = 140

x = 20 (degrees)

(2) here you have two variable so you will need to find two equations.

The first one comes from the triangle and its angles summing up to 180:

63 + (3x+45) + (y-6) = 180

The second one comes from the fact that the two horizontal lines are parallel and so the angles (7x-7) and (3x+45) must be the same:

7x-7=3x+45

Let's solve the last one first:

4x = 52

x = 13

then plug this solution into the first equation and solve for y

63 + (3x+45) + (y-6) = 180

3x + y = 78

y = 78-39 = 39

so the value of y is 39 (degrees)

What is the recursive rule for the sequence 2, -1, 1/2 , -1/4
Helga [31]

Answer:

a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}

a_1=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive rule is a term defined in terms of other terms in the sequence.

The is a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio.

The common ratio can be found by dividing a term by previous term.

For example, all of these are equal:

\frac{-1}{2}

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-1}

\frac{\frac{-1}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}

They are all equal to \frac{-1}{2}.

So we are saying:

\frac{\text{term}}{\text{previous term}}}=\frac{-1}{2}

More formally:

\frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}=\frac{-1}{2}.

Multiply both sides by a_{n-1}:

a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}

When doing recursive form, you need to state a term of the sequence (or more depending on the recursive form you have).

So the first term is 2.

So the full thing for the answer is:

a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}

a_1=2
