Answer: C

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the first term (a₁)

a₁ = x

a₂ = x(-√2)  = -x√2

a₃ = -x√2(-√2)  = 2x

a₄ = 2x(-√2)   = -2x√2

a₅ = -2x√2(-√2)   = 4x

Since it is given the a₅ = √2, then we  can solve: 4x =√2

Divide both sides by 4 to get: x = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}

this can also be written as: \frac{1}{4}\sqrt{2}

The area of a trapezoid is
A = (1/2) h (b1 + b2)
where
h is the height
b1 is length of base 1
b2 is the length of base 2

We are given with the area and assuming that the trapezoid is isosceles, the length of base 1 is
b1 = 4 ft
If the height of the trapezoid is 4.5 feet, it ensures that the shed will fit inside the trapezoid patch of land. Therefore, the height of the trapezoid is 4.5 feet.

Hello, could you please explain this to me?
Viefleur [7K]

Find the value of r(q(4)), so first you need to find the value of q(4).

q(4), this means that x = 4, so substitute/plug it into the equation to find the value of q(x) when x = 4:

q(x) = -2x - 1      Plug in 4 into "x" since x = 4

q(4) = -2(4) - 1

q(4) = -8 - 1

q(4) = -9        

Now that you know the value of q(4), you can find the value of r(x) when x = q(4)

r(x) = 2x² + 1

r(q(4)) = 2(q(4))² + 1      Plug in -9 into "q(4)" since q(4) = -9

r(q(4)) = 2(-9)² + 1

r(q(4)) = 2(81) + 1

r(q(4)) = 163           163 is the value of r(q(4))
