A₅ = 1/16  and r= 1/4

Let see how to build up this formula that is going to give that term of rank n

1st term =a₁ = To be calculated

1st a₁   = a₁  x  r°
2nd a₂  = a₁  x  r¹
3rd a₃  =  a₁  x  r²
4th a₄   = a₁  x  r³
5th a₅   = a₁  x  r⁴
.......................
.......................
nth : a(n) = a₁  x r⁽ⁿ-¹)
Note when that the subscript of a is the same as the exponent mines 1

We know the ratio r =1/4 & the fifth term, a₅ =1/16 (given). Now let's apply the formula to calculate the unknown a₁.

a(n) = a₁  x r⁽ⁿ-¹) ==>a₅ = a₁ x (1/4)⁽⁵⁺¹⁾ ===> 1/16 = a₁ x (1/4)⁴
1/167 = a₁ (1/256) ==> a₁ =16 & the formula becomes
a₅ = 16(1/4)⁴

In ΔABC, a = 660 cm, b = 680 cm and c=100 cm. Find the measure of ∠B to the nearest degree.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

m∠B = 97^{o}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the three sides of the triangle are given, then we apply cosine rule.

b^{2} = a^{2} + c^{2} - 2ac Cos B

But, a = 660 cm, b = 680 cm, and c = 100 cm.

So that;

680^{2} = 660^{2} + 100^{2} -2(660 x 100) Cos B

462400 = 435600 + 10000 - 132000 Cos B

462400 = 445600 - 132000 Cos B

132000 Cos B = 445600 - 462400

                        = -16800

Cos B = \frac{-16800}{132000}

         = -0.1273

B = Cos^{-1} -0.1273

  = 97^{o}

Thus, measure of ∠B is 97^{o}.

The height, h, in metres, of a rocket t seconds after it is launched is approximately modelled by the quadratic relation h = 80t
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: 5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Height of the rocket can be modelled as h=80-16t^2

Rocket will land on earth when it's height becomes 0

\Rightarrow 80t-16t^2=0\\\Rightarrow t(80-16t)=0\\\\\Rightarrow t=0\ \text{or}\ t=\dfrac{80}{16}=5\ s

Neglecting 0 value

Thus, rocket remains in air for 5 s.

Find the lengjth of the missing figure.<br>x=__cm​
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

X = 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras law is :

20^2 = X^2 + 12^2

400 = X^2 +144

400 - 144 = x^2

256 = x^2

x = ( 256 ) ^1/2

X=16
