Answer:

The second option is the correct answer

The sequence is : 0, -1, -6, -31, -156

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The recursive formula , an = 5a(n-1) - 1 and a1 = 0

a2 = 5a1 -1 = 5x0 - 1 = -1

a3 = 5a2 - 1 = (5x -1 ) - 1 = - 5 - 1 = -6

a4 = 5a3 - 1 =(5x -6) - 1 = -30 - 1= -31

a5 = 5a4 - 1 = (5 x -31 ) - 1 = -155 -1 = -156

Therefore the resulting sequence is

0, -1, -6, -31 ,-156

Find the value of Y<br> .....

vekshin1

Answer:

$y = 6 \sqrt{3} \: units$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of y, first we need to find the length of the perpendicular dropped from one of the vertices of the triangle to its opposite side.

By geometric mean theorem:

Length of the perpendicular

$=\sqrt{9\times 3}$

$=\sqrt{27}\: units$

Next, by Pythagoras theorem:

${y}^{2} = {9}^{2} + {( \sqrt{27} )}^{2} \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 81 + 27 \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 108 \\ \\ y = \sqrt{108} \\ \\ y = \sqrt{36 \times 3} \\ \\ y = \sqrt{ {6}^{2} \times 3} \\ \\ y = 6 \sqrt{3} \: units$

What is the value of x

zzz [600]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ EAB and Δ EDC are similar by the AA postulate , so the ratio of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

$\frac{AB}{DC}$ = $\frac{EA}{ED}$ , substitute values

$\frac{10}{4}$ = $\frac{2x+10}{x+3}$ ( cross- multiply )

10(x + 3) = 4(2x + 10 ) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

10x + 30 = 8x + 40 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

2x + 30 = 40 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 5
