Answer:
This is a geometric sequence because any term divided by the previous term is a constant called the common ratio. r=36/18=18/9=2 A geometric sequence is expressed as
\begin{gathered}a_n=ar^{n-1},\text{ where a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number}\\ \\ a_n=9(2^{n-1})\\ \\ a_6=9(2^5)\\ \\ a_6=288\end{gathered}an=arn−1, where a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term numberan=9(2n−1)a6=9(25)a6=288
OK. I used my calculator to evaluate sec(85 degrees).
My calculator doesn't have a "sec" button on it.
But I remembered that
sec of an angle = 1 / (cosine of the same angle) .
So I used my calculator to find cos(85), and then I hit the
" 1/x " key, and got 11.474, which I knew to be sec(85).
Answer: 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the missing fraction be x
x + 1/16 = 3/2
Make x the subject by subtracting both sides by 1/16
x = 3/2 - 1/16
x= 24 - 16/16
= 8/16; divide through by a common value of 8
x = 1/2
I hope this helps.
