Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in this question that sign telling path has a 2% grade.

2% grade means a rise of 2 meters for a horizontal change of 100 m (As given in the figure attached).

All the trigonometric ratios for the angle θ between the path and the horizontal are,

Sinθ = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

Cosθ = \frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

tanθ = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

Since measures of the opposite side and adjacent sides are given

Therefore, tangent ratio will be applied to get the measure of the angle,

tanθ = \frac{2}{100}

θ = \text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{2}{100})

Option (A) will be the answer.

Determine if the sequence is arithmetic. If it is, find the term named in the problem.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a_{39} <em>= 279</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1)d

d = a_{2} - a_{1}

~~~~~~~~~

d = - 17 + 25 = - 9 + 17 = - 1 + 9 = 8

a_{39} = - 25 + 8(39 - 1) = 279

a_{39} <em>= 279</em><em> </em>
