Answer:

a[n] = a[n-1]×(4/3)

a[1] = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of a geometric sequence have an initial term and a common ratio. The common ratio multiplies the previous term to get the next one. That sentence describes the recursive relation.

The general explicit term of a geometric sequence is ...

  a[n] = a[1]×r^(n-1) . . . . . where a[1] is the first term and r is the common ratio

Comparing this to the expression you are given, you see that ...

  a[1] = 1/2

  r = 4/3

(You also see that parenthses are missing around the exponent expression, n-1.)

A recursive rule is defined by two things:

  1. the starting value(s) for the recursive relation
  2. the recursive relation relating the next term to previous terms

The definition of a geometric sequence tells you the recursive relation is:

  <em>the next term is the previous one multiplied by the common ratio</em>.

In math terms, this looks like

  a[n] = a[n-1]×r

Using the value of r from above, this becomes ...

  a[n] = a[n-1]×(4/3)

Of course, the starting values are the same for the explicit rule and the recursive rule:

  a[1] = 1/2

8. In AABC, LA is a right angle and mzB = 45°. Find BC.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

BC = 11\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin45° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } , then

sin 45° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{11}{BC} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } ( cross- multiply )

BC = 11\sqrt{2}

A 15-foot ladder leans against a house. The bottom of the ladder is 7 feet from the house. To the nearest degree, what angle doe
max2010maxim [7]
The ladder is forming a right triangle with the house. In this right triangle the hypotenuse is the measure of the ladder, and the distance between the house and he ladder is one of the sides of the triangle. To find the angle, \alpha, that the ladder is making with the ground, we are going to use a trig function that relates the adjacent side of our angle with the hypotenuse. That trig function is Cosine. 
Cos \alpha = \frac{adjacent.side}{hypotenuse}
Cos \alpha = \frac{7}{15}
\alpha =arcCos( \frac{7}{15} )
\alpha =62.2

We can conclude that the ladder make with the ground a 62° angle.
