-8, -19, -30, -49 , -60

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have the following sequence :

-8, -19, -30, _ , _

First term of sequence is -8 .
Second term of sequence is -19 : $-8-11 = -19$
Third term of sequence is -30 : $-19-11 = -30$
Fourth term of sequence is : $-30-11 = -49$
Fifth term of sequence is : $-49-11 = -60$

Following sequence was an AP( Arithmetic Progression ) with first term as -8 i.e. $a = -8$ and common difference $d = -11$ having general equation as : $-8 -11n$ .

The value of tangent theta is equal to the negative 1. At this value the value of secant theta is $\sqrt{2}$ .

<h3>What is tangent theta?</h3>

The tangent theta in a triangle is the ratio of sine theta and cos theta. It can be written as,

$\rm tan\theta=\dfrac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}$

Given information-

The value of tangent theta is equal to the negative 1.

$\tan \theta=-1$

The tangent theta in a triangle is the ratio of sine theta and cos theta. It can be written as,

$\rm tan\theta=\dfrac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}$

The value of tangent theta is equal to the negative 1. Thus put the value in above expression as,

$\rm -1=\dfrac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}\\$

Simplify it further as,

$\rm -cos \theta=sin \theta$

When the value of cosine and sine theta is equal, then the angle exist in 4th quadrant with the value of $\dfrac{7\pi}{4}$ . Which extent to the $\sqrt{2}/2$ for the cosine function.

In the trigonometry cosine theta is the reciprocal of the secant theta. Thus,

$\rm \dfrac{1}{sec\theta}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\sec\theta=\sqrt{2}$

Thus the value of secant theta is $\sqrt{2}$

if 5000000 invested at 4% interest compounded continuously how much will the investment be worth in 30 years

umka21 [38]

For this you use A=Pe^(rt)
A=furutre amount
P=present amount
e=natural base
r=rate in decimal
t=times in years

A=?
P=5000000
r=0.04
t=30

A=5,000,000e^(0.04*30)
A=5,000,000e^(1.2)
A=16600584.613683

If x^2+1/x^2=3 find the value of x^2/(x^2+1)^2<br> Express answer as a common fraction.<br> Thanks!!

timama [110]

$x^2+\dfrac1{x^2}=3\implies x^4+1=3x^2\implies x^4-3x^2+1=0$

By the quadratic formula,

$x^2=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}2\implies x^2+1=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt5}2$

Then

$(x^2+1)^2=\dfrac{25\pm10\sqrt5+5}4=\dfrac{15\pm5\sqrt5}2$

$\implies\dfrac{x^2}{(x^2+1)^2}=\dfrac{\frac{3\pm\sqrt5}2}{\frac{15\pm5\sqrt5}2}=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}{15\pm5\sqrt5}$

Multiply numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate:

$\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}{15\pm5\sqrt5}\cdot\dfrac{15\mp5\sqrt5}{15\mp5\sqrt5}=\dfrac{45\pm15\sqrt5\mp15\sqrt5-25}{15^2-(5\sqrt5)^2}=\dfrac{20}{100}=\dfrac15$
