Answer:

$a_k=-5\cdot a_{k-1}, \,\,\,k=1,2,...\,\,\,\mbox{and}\,\,\,a_0=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursion is as follows:

$a_k=-5\cdot a_{k-1}, \,\,\,k=1,2,...\,\,\,\mbox{and}\,\,\,a_0=2$

and unrolling the first few examples:

$a_0=2\\a_1=-5\cdot 2 = -10\\a_2= -5\cdot (-10) = 50\\a_3 = (-5) \cdot 50 = -250$

Create an equation that represents a parabola that opens upward

algol13

For a parabola that opens upward, it must be a quadratic equation whose coefficient of x2 is a positive number.

So, I'll say x2+5x+6.

Together, Kyle and Tyler traveled 425 miles to the beach. If Kyle traveled 240 miles, how far did Tyler travel?

Papessa [141]

Answer:

185 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Both Kyle and Tyler traveled total distance to the beach=425 miles

Kyle traveled distance to the beach=240 miles.

We have to find the distance traveled by Tyler.

To find the distance traveled by Tyler we will subtract distance traveled by Kyle form total distance traveled by together Kyle and Tyler.

Let x be the distance traveled by Tyler.

According to question

$x+240=425$

$x=425-240=185$ miles

Hence, Tyler travels distance to the beach=185 miles

The ray ‾ ⇀gj is the angle bisector of ∠fgh and m∠fgh = 75° how do you find ∠fgj

Anton [14]

For a better understanding of the solution/explanation given here please go through the diagram in the file attached.

By definition, an angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles.

In our question we have been given that GJ is the ray that is the angle bisector and that has been shown in the diagram.

Now, since, $m\angle FGH=75^{\circ}$ , therefore, the ray $\underset{GJ}{\rightarrow}$ will divide the original angle $m\angle FGH=75^{\circ}$ into two congruent angles, $\angle GJH$ and $\angle FGH$ . Since, the division is equal, the values of both these angles will be half of the original angle. Thus, we will have:

$\angle FGJ=\angle HGJ=\frac{75^{\circ}}{2}=37.5^{\circ}$

Thus, the required value of $\angle FGJ=37.5^{\circ}$
