Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

We require to solve for n, hence

\frac{1}{2} n(n + 1) = 325

multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction

n(n + 1) = 650

n² + n = 650

subtract 650 from both sides to have equation in standard form

n² + n - 650 = 0 ← in standard form

(n + 26)(n - 25) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for n

n + 26 = 0 ⇒ n = - 26

n - 25 = 0 ⇒ n = 25

however, n > 0 ⇒ n = 25

The measure of an angle in standard position is given. Find two positive angles and two negative angles that are coterminal with
Pani-rosa [81]
Notice the picture below

negative angles, are just angles that go "clockwise", namely, the same direction a clock hands move hmmm so....  and one revolution is just 2π

now, you can have angles bigger than 2π of course, by simply keep going around, so, if you go around 3 times on the circle, say "counter-clockwise", or from right-to-left, counter as a clock goes, 3 times or 3 revolutions will give you an angle of 6π, because 2π+2π+2π is 6π

now... say... you have this angle here... let us find another that lands on that same spot

by simply just add 2π to it :)  

\bf \cfrac{7}{6}+2=\cfrac{19}{6}\qquad thus\qquad \cfrac{7\pi} {6}+2\pi =\cfrac{19\pi }{6}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{19\pi }{6}\impliedby co-terminal\ angle

now, that's a positive one
and  \bf \cfrac{7}{6}-2=-\cfrac{5}{6}\qquad thus\qquad \cfrac{7\pi} {6}-2\pi =-\cfrac{5\pi }{6}
\\\\\\
-\cfrac{5\pi }{6}\impliedby \textit{is also a co-terminal angle}

to get more, just keep on subtracting or adding 2π

What is the value of the natural logarithm when x =0.6 is rounded to the nearest hundredth
Bezzdna [24]
We are tasked to determine the natural logarithm when x = 0.6. 
x = 0.6, applying natural logarithm on both sides, we have it:
ln x = ln 0.6 using a scientific calculator, enter ln 0.6 and then this would give an answer of -0.5108256238
As per instruction, we are required to round the answer to the nearest hundredth such as the final answer is -0.51.

The answer is the letter "B".

A pumpkin is launched directly upwards at 72 feet per second from a platform 12 feet high. The pumpkin's height, h, at time t se
Illusion [34]

Answer:

93 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first find the time it takes to reach the maximum height. We can do this by differentiating the height function to get velocity:

dh(t)/dt = v(t) = -32t + 72

The maximum height will occur when the velocity becomes 0. Therefore, the time it takes to reach maximum height is:

0 = -32t + 72

32t = 72

t = 72/32 = 2.25 seconds

Therefore, the maximum height of the pumpkin is:

h(2.25) = -16(2.25)^2 + 72(2.25) + 12

h(2.25) = -81 + 162 + 12

h = 93 feet
