Answer:

a(n)= a(n+1)+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first terms of this sequence are: 4,0, -4, -8, -12

Let 4 be a0 and 0 a1.

● a1-a0 = 0-4

●a1-a0 = -4

●a1 = -4+a0

So this relation links the first term with the second one.

replace 1 in a1 with n.

0 in a0 will be n-1

● an = -4+a(n-1)

Add one in n

● a(n+1) = a(n)-4

● a(n) = a(n+1)+4

Using the rules of cosines, the measure of the turn between the second and third legs of the race is given by

$\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{180^2+160^2-140^2}{2\times180\times160} \right)=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{32,400+26,600-19,600}{57,600} \right) \\ \\ =\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{39,400}{57,600} \right)=\cos^{-1}(0.6840)\approx47^o$
