A recursive rule for a geometric sequence:

a_1\\\\a_n=r\cdot a_{n-1}

---------------------------------------------------

a_1=2;\ a_n=\dfrac{4}{9}a_{n-1}\to r=\dfrac{4}{9}

---------------------------------------------------

The exciplit rule:

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

Substitute:

a_n=2\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^{n-1}=2\cdot\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^n\cdot\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^{-1}=2\cdot\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^n\cdot\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\\boxed{a_n=\dfrac{9}{2}\cdot\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^n}

First, look at the whole number if it is 12, it will go near the 1 on the number line, next look at the fraction,
if its 1/2 change it to be 2/4. Next count the lines in between the number. There are 4 lines. If it is 3/4, count 3 lines and put the fraction there. So 41/4 would be the 4 and 1 line next to it.

Jason and Alison are hiking in the woods when they spot a rare owl in a tree. Jason stops and measures an angle of elevation of
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Owl= 67.14ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See comment for complete question.</em>

The given information is represented in the attached figure.

First convert 22°8'6'' and 30° 40’ 30” to degrees

22^{\circ} 8'6'' = 22 + \frac{8}{60} + \frac{6}{3600}

22^{\circ} 8'6'' = 22.135^{\circ}

30^{\circ} 40'30'' = 30 + \frac{40}{60} + \frac{30}{3600}

30^{\circ} 40'30'' = 30.675^{\circ}

Considering Jason's position:

tan(22.135^{\circ}) = \frac{H}{x + 48}

Where x = distance between the tree and Alison

Make H the subject

H = (x + 48)tan(22.135^{\circ})

Considering Alison's position

tan(30.675^{\circ}) = \frac{H}{x}

Make H the subject

H = xtan(30.675^{\circ})

H = H

(x + 48)tan(22.135^{\circ}) = xtan(30.675^{\circ})

(x + 48) *0.4068 = x* 0.5932

Open bracket

x *0.4068 + 48 *0.4068 = 0.5932x

0.4068x + 19.5264 = 0.5932x

Collect Like Terms

-0.5932x+0.4068x = -19.5264

-0.1864x = -19.5264

0.1864x = 19.5264

Make x the subject

x = \frac{19.5264}{0.1864}

x = 104.76

Substitute 104.76 for x in H = xtan(30.675^{\circ})

H = 104.76 * tan(30.675^{\circ})

H = 104.76 * 0.5932

H = 62.14

The above represents the height of the tree.

The height of the owl is:

Owl= H + 5

Owl= 62.14 + 5

Owl= 67.14ft

Two angles are supplementary. The measure of one angle is 4 times the measure of the other angle. What is the measure of the sma
Alexus [3.1K]
ANSWER

The smaller angle is

y = 36 \degree



.EXPLANATION

Let the angles be
x \:  and \:  \: y

where y is the smaller angle.
Since they are supplementary, they will add up to 180°.


This implies that,

x + y = 180 \degree...(1)


If one angle is 4 times the other, we can then write the following equation,

x = 4y...(2)


We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get,



4y + y = 180 \degree


5y = 180 \degree


We divide through by 5 to obtain,

y = 36 \degree


This implies that,

x = 4(36)


x = 144 \degree
