Answer:
8
x^
4 + x^
3 − 4x^2 + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an arithmetic sequence because we are adding the same amount each time. In this case, we are adding -4 to each term to get the next term
17 + (-4) = 13
13 + (-4) = 9
9 + (-4) = 5
and so on. The starting term is 
The common difference is 
The nth term of the arithmetic sequence can be found by this formula

For instance, if n = 2, then,

which matches up with the second term listed.
45.6%, I think
If the angle was 45 degrees, then 50% of the circumference of the ice cream would be inside the cone.
But the real angle is 41. 41 = (41/45) * 45
So if we multiply 45 by 41/45, we get 41. In the same way, if multiply the "50%" by 41/45, we get the percentage of ice cream circumference that is in the cone.
50% * 41/45 = 45.6%
Answer:
144°
96+48(further away angles)
