Answer:

c a(n+10)

Step-by-step explanation:

[(-1)^(n+1)] × (5^n)

an > 0

a(n+5) = (-1)⁵ × 5^(n+5) < 0

a(n+10) = (-1)¹⁰ × 5^(n+10) > 0

a(n+15) = (-1)¹⁵ × 5^(n+15) < 0

Since a^n is positive, n is even

Odd powers of -1 are negative

PLEASE HELP I don't understand at all please help

I would use the Law of Sines to solve this problem.
The angle next to the 58 degree angle is 122 degrees. The side opposite this angle is 3.72 km.
The angle we need to find is at the cave. The side opposite this angle is 2.60 km.
(Sin 122/3.72) = (Sin x/2.60)
Cross multiply to solve.
3.72 Sin x = 2.60 Sin 122
Divide both sides by 3.72
Sin x = (2.60 Sin 122)/3.72
Sin^-1 x = (2.60Sin122)/3.72
x = 36 degrees

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Part 1) Helen's age is 32 years old and Jane's age is 24 years old

Part 2) 13 twenty-dollar bills

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Helen is 8 years older than Jane. Twenty years ago Helen was three times as old as Jane. How old is each now and what is the equation?

Let

x----> Helen's age

y---> Jane's age

we know that

x=y+8 ----> equation A

(x-20)=3(y-20) -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

(y+8-20)=3(y-20)

y-12=3y-60

3y-y=60-12

2y=48

y=24 years

Find the value of x

x=y+8

x=24+8=32 years

Part 2)

Let

x-----> the number of five-dollar bills

y----> the number of twenty-dollar bills

we know that

5x+20y=305 -----> equation A

y=x+4 ------> x=y-4 ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

5(y-4)+20y=305

5y-20+20y=305

25y=325

y=13 twenty-dollar bills

Find the value of x

x=y-4

x=13-4=9  five-dollar bills
