Answer:

a_{n+1}=0.2a_n for all n>0, a_1=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \{a_n\}=\{16,3.2,0.64,0.128,\cdots \} be the sequence described.

A geometric sequence has the following property: there exists some r (the ratio of the sequence) such that \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=r forr all n>0.

To find r, note that

\frac{3.2}{16}=\frac{32}{10(16)}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2

Similarly

\frac{0.64}{3.2}=\frac{64}{10(32)}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2

\frac{0.128}{0.64}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2

Thus a_{n+1}=r a_n=\frac{a_n}{5}=0.2a_n for all n>0, and a_1=16

What is sin B ?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is sin B = \frac{8}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

Sine is the trigonometric function that relates the opposite side and the hypotenuse.

In the picture, we have the hypotenuse and the adjacent side, so we must calculate the opposite side using the Pythagorean theorem.

                b² = c² - a²

                b² = 17² - 15²

                b² = 289 - 225

                b² = 64

               b = 8

Now, we can calculate the sine

               sin B = \frac{opposite side}{hypotenuse}

               sin B = \frac{8}{17}
