The scneario here expressed is an aritmetic sequence because it can be explained like this:
<span><span><span>a1</span>=35
</span><span><span>an</span>=<span>a<span>n−1</span></span>+<span>17
So all the variables can fit in and will be better explained than a geometric sequence in which you need a common ratio and that is not needed in this case</span></span></span>
C
work:
75 is equal to 2x+15
75-15 = 60
60/2 = 30
x=30
If we let
x as the distance traveled by the boat
y as the distance between the boat and the lighthouse.
Then, we have:
tan 18°33' = 200 / (x + y)
and
tan 51°33' = 200 / y
Solving for y in the second equation:
y = 200 / tan 51°33'
Rearranging the first equation and substituting y
x = 200 / tan 18°33' - 200 / tan 55°33'
x = 458.81 ft
Therefore, the boat traveled 458.81 ft before it stopped.
Should be y-5 because you’re diving the separate bases with exponents so you have to subtract the actual exponent values
