9,2.5,-4,-10.5,-17

Let's find the difference between two consecutive terms

2.5 - 9 = -6.5

-4 - 2.5 = -6.5

-10.5 - (-4) = -6.5

-17 -(-10.5) = -6.5

We can see that the common difference is -6.5

-6.5 is the common difference between successive terms in the sequence 9,2.5,-4,-10.5,-17

the common difference is negative because we subtract 6.5 to get the next term.

Answer: The river is 148.3 feet wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

The triangle formed is a right triangle.

Using SOH CAH TOA

$tan 56 = \frac{x}{100}$

Multiplying 100 in both sides

$x = 100 \times tan56$

$x = 100 \times 1.4826$

$x = 148.26$

Rounding to the one decimal place

$x = 148.3$

Hence river is 148.3 feet wide. .............. Answer

Hope it will help :)

What is the value of x? Show work.

ella [17]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the inscribed angle of the circle or angle EFG is equal to the twice of the degree of the arc EG. Therefore, we can create this equation:

12+40=2(8x+10)

12+40=16x+20

20=4x

x=5

Andru [333]

Answer:

x = √30 or -√30

Step-by-step explanation:

480 - 16x^2 = 0

divide both sides by 16

30 - x^2 = 0

-x^2 + 30 = 0

-x^2 = -30

X^2 = 30

x = ± √30

x = √30 or -√30
