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:

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

Find the slope of (2,3) and (6,7)

Brut [27]

To find the slope, we must use the formula stated below.

Slope = Change in Y / Change in X = (Y1 - Y2) / (X1 - X2)

Since our coordinates are given as (X, Y), we must pick a coordinate to be #1, and the other coordinate will be #2.

I'll use the first coordinate as our #1.

(3 - 6) / (2 - 7) = (-3) / (-5) = 3/5 which is our answer

SOLVE THIS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT EQUATION

finlep [7]

Answer:

Option B; EF = ( About ) 4.47 units, Perimeter of Δ EFG = ( About ) 12.94 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If we were to consider the height of this triangle EFG, it would be 4 units of length, supposedly splitting base GF into two ≅ parts, each 2 units of length. First let us name the point drawn to base GF ⇒ point H, so that the height of Δ EFG ⇒ EH. Now as EH splits GF into two ≅ parts, by Converse to Coincidence Theorem, Δ EFG ⇒ Isosceles Δ;

EH and FH are legs of a right triangle EFH, so that Pythagorean Theorem can be applied to solve for the length of EF and EG, knowing that as Δ EFG ⇒ Isosceles Δ, EF ≅ EG;

( EH )^2 + ( FH )^2 = ( EF )^2,

( 4 )^2 + ( 2 )^2 = ( EF )^2 ⇒ take square of 4 & 2,

16 + 4 = ( EF )^2 ⇒ combine like terms,

( EF )^2 = 20 ⇒ take square root on either side to solve for EF,

EF = √ 20 = ( About ) 4.47 units = EG,

Perimeter of Δ EFG = EF + GF + EG = 4.47 + 4 + 4.47 = ( About ) 12.94 units,

Solution; Option B

Find the length of side x to the nearest tenth

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

x = 2 sqrt(3)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp / hyp

sin 60 = 1 /x

x sin 60 =1

x = 1 /sin 60

x = 1 / sqrt(3)/2

x = 2 sqrt(3)/3

What number is the same as distance from 0 on a number line as 1 1/2

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: What is the distance from 0 on a number line called?

The distance between a number's place on the number line and 0 is called the number's [absolute value]. To write the absolute value of a number, use short vertical lines (|) on either side of the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a hint. I hope this helps.
