You can either solve this with the Pythagorean theorem or the special triangles rule which can be applied to (degrees —>) 45/45/90 or 30/60/90 triangles.

With the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is used with the numbers accordingly- 5 and S are legs and can be either a or b while √50 being the hypotenuse can only be c

(5)^2 + (s)^2 =(√50)^2

25 + (s)^2 = 50

√ ((s)^2) = √ (50 - 25)

s = 5

The special Triangles rule actually states that a shortcut can be applied to the corresponding sides (look at picture). S is directly across from a 45 degree angle (and so is 5!)

If a = 5, than s must also = 5.

5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use Tan(45)=S/5 to solve for S. Tan basically means Opposite/Adjacent. So the opposite side is S and the adjacent side is S. You plug tan(45) into your calc and then multiply it by 5.

Proportion Below

Tan(45)/1 = S/5

You cross multiply to get Tan(45)*5=S

S would be 5

To check you can use the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2

5^2+5^2=

{5}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}  =  \sqrt{50}

25+25=50

Write the equation for the vertical line that passes through the point (5,-2)
amid [387]

If it's just a vertical line, then it could be displayed as: x = 5.

A vertical line is not actually a function, and because of such, the entire line is just the value of the x value, as it will never have enough x value.

Suppose that a sequence is defined as follows.a₁ = -4, an=3an-1+7 for n>2List the first four terms of the sequence.
maria [59]

The sequence is defined as

an = 3an - 1 + 7

This means that

a2 = 3(a(2 - 1) + 7

a2 = 3a1 + 7

From the information given ,

a1 = - 4

Thus,

a2 = 3 * - 4 + 7 = - 12 + 7

a2 = - 5

a3 = 3(a(3 - 1) + 7

a3 = 3a2 + 7

a3 = 3 * - 5 + 7 = - 15 + 7

a3 = - 8

a4 = 3(a(4 - 1) + 7

a4 = 3a3 + 7

a4 = 3 * - 8 + 7 = - 24 + 7

a4 = - 17

Thus, the first four terms of the sequence are

- 4, - 5, -
