The explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence will be:

$a_{n}= 4.(10)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence :

4, 40, 400, 4000, ...

In the given sequence

First term = a₁ = 4

Common ratio = r :

40/4 = 10

400/40 = 10

4000/400 = 10

So, common ratio = r= 10

The formula used to find explicit formula will be:

$a_{n}= a_{1}.r^{n-1}$

Putting values in the formula:

$a_{n}= a_{1}.r^{n-1}\\a_{n}= 4.(10)^{n-1}$

The explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence will be:

$a_{n}= 4.(10)^{n-1}$

By the law of cosines, the angle $C$ satisfies

$8.77^2=2^2+9^2-2\times2\times9\times\cos C$

which reduces to

$\cos C=0.2246\implies C=\arccos(0.2246)\approx1.34422\text{ rad}$

which converts to approximately 77 degrees (this can be done my multiplying by 180 and dividing by pi).
