Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

• a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

d = 1 - 7 = - 5 - 1 = - 6 and a₁ = 7, a_{n} = - 161, hence

7 - 6(n - 1) = - 161 ← solve for n

7 - 6n + 6 = - 161

13 - 6n = - 161 ( subtract 13 from both sides )

- 6n = - 174 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

n = 29

There are 29 terms in the sequence

The rule below shows how to find the position of an object thrown upward with initial velocity of 15 feet per second. Which answ
nekit [7.7K]

Here we're applying a basic physics rule for vertical motion where the only pull on the object is gravity.


This rule has the form


h(t) = h + v t + (1/2)a*t^2

o o


To adapt this rule to this particular question replace h with 0, as the

o

upward path of the object begins at 0 ft. Replace v with +15 ft/sec.

o


Replace "a" with (-32.2 ft/(sec^2); this is the acceleration due to gravity.


Then we have the following, with the label F(t):


F(t) = 0 + (15 ft/sec)t + (1/2)(-32.2 ft)/(sec^2), or


F(t) = 15t - 16.1t^2. Thus, Choice D is correct.


Please note: To avoid confusion, please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:


F(t) = -16t^2 + 15t
