Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. The division by 2 comes from the fact that a parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles. For example, in the diagram to the left, the area of each triangle is equal to one-half the area of the parallelogram.

what is the sum of an 8th term geometric series if the first term is -11, the last term is 180,224, and the common ratio is -4

Mumz [18]

The sum of n terms is given from the first term and the common ratio by

$S_{n}=a_{1}\dfrac{r^{n}-1}{r-1}$

For your given values of a1=-11, r=-4, n=8, the sum of 8 terms is

$S_{8}=(-11)\dfrac{(-4)^{8}-1}{-4-1}=(-11)\dfrac{65535}{-5}\\\\=144177$

How to solve it in quadratic functions

natita [175]

Answer:

x = 2

x = -3/2 or -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, I would use the "slip and slide" method. LOL I know the name is cheesy, but that's what my teacher called it!

First, you "slip" the coefficent of the leading term (2) to the constant, and multiply.

The equation becomes:

x² - x - 6(2) = 0

x² - x - 12 = 0

Then, you factor this out by looking at the second and third terms. You're looking for 2 factors of -12 that would add up to -1 ( the coefficent of the second term).

Automatically, think of 3 and 4, because the difference between them is 1.

The factors must be (x-4) and (x+3) because they multiple to -12, and add up to -1.

This step is extremely important! Lol I used to forget it a lot, but make sure you divide the constant in each factor by the original number you "slipped".

It would become (x-(4/2))(x+3/2) = (x-2)(x+3/2)

With (x+3/2), you don't want to leave it as a fraction or decimal. It's equivalent to (2x+3). However, the informal form is easier to identify the value of x.

The tallest tree in the world is reputed to be a giant redwood named Hyperion located in Redwood National Park in California, US

dlinn [17]

Answer:

114.02 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The information you're given about the tree will form a triangle, with the three corners being the top of the tree, the point where the tree meets the ground, and the specified point 41.5 meters from the tree. The angle of elevation (70°) is the angle made where the line representing the ground and the line connecting the top of the tree to the ground at the specified point connect.

The angle where the tree meets the ground is 90°, so the triangle a right triangle.

So this all means you know one angle of a right triangle (70°) and the side adjacent to this angle (41.5 meters). You're solving for the height of the tree, which is the side opposite of the angle you know. You can solve using either Sine, Cosine, or Tangent.

Use the acronym SOHCAHTOA to figure out which of those three functions to use. Feel free to look this up for more information if you haven't heard of it before. In this case, we're using Tangent (TOA = Tangent, Opposite side, Adjacent side)

To solve using any of those three functions, you'll need a scientific calculator. On your calculator, you'll see the buttons SIN, COS, andTAN. For this problem, press TAN and you'll see something appear that says tan (___). You'll need to input a number to get your answer, and here's how to find that number:

Again referencing SOHCAHTOA, the "TOA" part lists Opposite first and then Adjacent. This is because you're going to write a fraction with those two numbers, and since Opposite is first, it's the numerator. That means that Adjacent is the denominator. We don't know the value of the opposite side, so it'll be represented by x, and we do know the value of the adjacent side, 41.5. This means the fraction is $\frac{x}{41.5}$ .

This isn't the number to input into the calculator -- you need to isolate the variable:

The original equation is:

tan 70 = x/41.5

Multiply both sides by 41.5 (To cancel out the denominator and isolate x)

tan 70 (41.5) = x

Now you've got the equation for x, you're ready to put this in your calculator.

What appeared on your calculator was:

tan(__)

Input like follows:

(tan(70))41.5

The brackets are needed like that so the calculator knows to multiply the entire thing by 41.5. You might get a wrong answer otherwise.

Hit enter, and you'l get the height of the tree:

114.02 meters
