Mathematics

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you are going to find a Pythagorean Triple. As you can see from the picture you have provided, 17 ft is the longest side. So, I squared 17 and got 289. I did this because I am using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). Then, I squared 8 and got 64. Then, still following the Pythagorean Theorem, I subtracted 64 from 289. I got 225. Then, I found the square root of 225. I got 15. So, x=15.

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: I used the pythagorean theorem. X is a, 8 is b, and 17 is c. The squares of a and b added together are c. So I got 15.

The last term of an arithmetic sequence is 14 and the ninth term is -1. Find the first four
Olegator [25]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term and an is the last term. The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is called an arithmetic series . Example 1: Find the sum of the first 20 terms of the arithmetic series if a1=5 and a20=62 .An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is a constant. ... As with any recursive formula, the initial term of the sequence must be given. An explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence with common difference d is given by an=a1+d(n−1) a n = a 1 + d ( n − 1 ) .
