Answer:

7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

write pythagorean theorem x^{2} + x^{2} = 10^2

2x^2 = 100

divide 2 both side:

x^{2} = 50

\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{50}

x = \sqrt{50}

x = 7.07106781

round to nearest tenth:

x = 7.1

PLS HELP. Find the first four terms of the recursive sequence defined by the following formula:
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the recursive formula a_{n} = \frac{a_{n-1} }{4} and

a_{4} = 2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}, then

\frac{a_{3} }{4} = \frac{9}{4} ( multiply both sides by 4 )

a₃ = 4 × \frac{9}{4} = 9

\frac{a_{2} }{4} = 9 ( multiply both sides by 4 )

a₂ = 36

\frac{a_{1} }{4} = 36 ( multiply both sides by 4 )

a₁ = 144

The first 4 terms are

144, 36, 9, 2 \frac{1}{4}

Solve for x.<br><br> x = 5°<br> x = 18°<br> x = 30°<br> x = 36°
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

x=36

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 angles, ∠EAF and ∠FAB are on a straight line. This means they are supplementary, and add to 180 degrees.

So,

∠EAF  +∠FAB =180

We know that ∠EAF is 3x and ∠FAB is 2x, so we can substitute them in

3x+2x=180

Combine like terms

5x=180

Divide by 5 on both sides

x=36

So, x=36 degrees, or the last choice
