Ghella [55]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

0,4,24,60,112

Step-by-step explanation:

an = 8n² − 4n

first 5 terms is a0, a1, a2, a3 and a4

for a0, n = 0,

a0 = 8(0)² − 4(0) = 0

for a1, n = 1,

a1 = 8(1)² − 4(1) = 8-4 = 4

for a2, n = 2,

a2 = 8(2)² − 4(2) = 8(4)- 4(2) = 32-8 = 24

for a3, n = 3,

a3 = 8(3)² − 4(3) = 8(9) − 4(3) = 72 - 12 = 60

for a4, n = 4,

a4 = 8(4)² − 4(4) = 8(16) − 4(4) = 128 - 16 = 112

hence the first 5 terms are

0,4,24,60,112

A blimp, suspended in the air at a height of 600 feet, lies directly over a line from a sports stadium to a planetarium. If an a
Molodets [167]

Step-by-step explanation:

so, this sounds like the blimp is located between the stadium and the planetarium.

we have a triangle :

the ground distance between the stadium and the planetarium is the baseline.

and the 2 lines of sight from the blimp on one side to the stadium and on the other side to the planetarium are the 2 legs.

we know the height of this triangle is 600 ft.

the angle of depression down to the stadium is 37°. which makes the inner triangle angle at the ground point at the stadium also 37°.

and the angle of depression down to the planetarium is 29°. which makes the inner triangle angle at the ground point at the planetarium also 29°.

and because the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°, we know the angle at the blimp is

180 - 37 - 29 = 114°

in order to solve this triangle, we need to split it into 2 right-angled triangles by using the height of the main triangle as delimiter.

we get a stadium side and a planetarium side triangle.

the baselines (Hypotenuses) of the 2 triangles are the corresponding lines of sight from the blimp.

the height of the large triangle is also a height and a leg in each small triangle.

and the stadium side part of the large baseline (between ground point and intersection with the height) is the second leg for the stadium side triangle.

and correspondingly, the planetarium side part of the large baseline (between ground point and intersection with the height) is the second leg for the planetarium side triangle.

the inner blimp angle of the stadium side triangle is

180 - 37 - 90 = 53°

and the inner blimp angle of the planetarium side triangle is

180 - 29 - 90 = 61°

now we can use the law of sine to get the lengths of the 2 parts of the baseline of the large triangle.

and when we add these 2 numbers we get the distance between stadium and planetarium.

law of sine is

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with the sides being opposite of the associated angles.

for the stadium side triangle we get

part1/sin(53) = 600/sin(37)

part1 = 600×sin(53)/sin(37) = 796.226893... ft

for the planetarium side triangle we get

part2/sin(61) = 600/sin(29)

part2 = 600×sin(61)/sin(29) = 1,082.428653... ft

the distance between the stadium and the planetarium is

part1 + part2 = 1,878.655546... ft

The number 0.1111... repeats forever; therefore, it is irrational. True or False.
Rasek [7]
Answer is True. We cannot write it in rational form where both numbers are finite integers. In this case we cannot represent this number as fraction of finite integers therefore it is irrational.
