Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In general for arithmetic sequences, recursive formulas are of the form

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d,

and the explicit formula (like tₙ in your problem), are of the form

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d,

where d is the common difference. So converting between the two of these isn't so bad. In this case, your problem wants you to have an idea of what t₁ is (well, every answer says it's -5, so there you are) and what tₙ₊₁ is. Using the formulas above and your given tₙ = -5 + (n - 1)78, we can see that the common difference is 78, so no matter what we get ourselves into, the constant being added on at the end should be 78. That automatically throws out answer choice D.

But to narrow it down between the rest of them, you want to use the general form for the recursive formula and substitute (n + 1) for every instance of n. This will let you find tₙ₊₁ to match the requirements of your answer choices. So

tₙ₊₁ = t₍ₙ₊₁₎₋₁ + d ... Simplify the subscript

tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + d

Therefore, your formula for tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + 78, which is answer choice C.

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to show that:

\tan(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} )  =  -   \cot \: x

One way is to use the basic double angle formula:

\frac{ \sin(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} )}  =  \frac{ \sin(x)  \cos( \frac{3\pi}{2} )  +   \cos(x)  \sin( \frac{3\pi}{2}) }{\cos(x)  \cos( \frac{3\pi}{2} )   -    \sin(x)  \sin( \frac{3\pi}{2}) }

\frac{ \sin(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} )}  =  \frac{ \sin(x) ( 0)  +   \cos(x) (  - 1) }{\cos(x) (0)   -    \sin(x) (  - 1) }

We simplify further to get:

\frac{ \sin(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} )}  =  \frac{ 0  -   \cos(x) }{0 +    \sin(x) }

We simplify again to get;

\frac{ \sin(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} )}  =  \frac{- \cos(x) }{ \sin(x) }

This finally gives:

\frac{ \sin(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x +  \frac{3\pi}{2} )}  =  -  \cot(x)

Between 0 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius, the volume V (in cubic centimeters) of 1 kg of water at a temperature T is giv
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

T = 3.967 C

Step-by-step explanation:

Density = mass / volume

Use the mass = 1kg and volume as the equation given V, we will come up with the following equation

D = 1 / 999.87−0.06426T+0.0085043T^2−0.0000679T^3

   = (999.87−0.06426T+0.0085043T^2−0.0000679T^3)^-1

Find the first derivative of D with respect to temperature T

dD/dT = \dfrac{70000000\left(291T^2-24298T+91800\right)}{\left(679T^3-85043T^2+642600T-9998700000\right)^2}

Let dD/dT = 0 to find the critical value we will get

\dfrac{70000000\left(291T^2-24298T+91800\right)}  = 0

Using formula of quadratic, we get the roots:

T =  79.53 and T = 3.967

Since the temperature is only between 0 and 30, pick T = 3.967

Find 2nd derivative to check whether the equation will have maximum value:

-\dfrac{140000000\left(395178T^4-65993368T^3+3286558821T^2+2886200857800T-121415215620000\right)}{\left(679T^3-85043T^2+642600T-9998700000\right)^3}

Substituting the value with T=3.967,

d2D/dT2 = -1.54 x 10^(-8)    a negative value. Hence It is a maximum value

Substitute T =3.967 into equation V, we get V = 0.001 i.e. the volume when the the density is the highest is at 0.001 m3 with density of

D = 1/0.001 = 1000 kg/m3

Therefore T = 3.967 C

The perimeter of a rectangular piece of plastic is 14 millimeters. The piece of plastic is 3 millimeters tall. How wide is it?
laiz [17]
It gives the perimeter of 14 mm and if it is 3 mm tall, times that by 2 to get 6 for the total of both side then subtract 6 from 14 and you get 8 and then divide that by 2

Answer is 4 mm wide for the two sides
