Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a_1 = -4

a_2 = -1

a_2 - a1 = -1 - (-4) = 3

Each new term is 3 added to the previous term.

a_n = a_1 + 3(n - 1)

Test: Let's find the 4th term and see if we get a_4 = 5.

a_4 = a_1 + 3(4 - 1) = -4 + 3(3) = -4 + 9 = 5

We see that the 4th term really is equal to 5.

a_30 = a_1 + 3(30 - 1) = -4 + 3(29) = -4 + 87 = 83

The minute hand of a clock is 8 inches long. To the nearest tenth of an inch, how far does the tip of the minute hand travel as

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The tip of the minute hand travels 20.9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the minute hand of a clock is 8 inches long. And we have to find that how far does the tip of the minute hand travel as the time progresses from 12:00 to 12:25.

So, firstly we will find the circumference of circle;

Circumference of circle (C) = $2\pi r$ {where r is radius of circle}

= $2 \times \pi \times 8$ {given r = 8 inches long}

= $16 \pi$

Now, as we know that the minute hands completes the full circle in 60 minutes, therefore, the length of the arc between time 12:00 to 12:25 represents $\frac{25}{60}$ which is $\frac{5 }{12}$ of the circumference, that means;

The length of arc from time 12:00 to 12:25 = $\frac{5}{12}\times \text {Circumference of circle}$

= $\frac{5}{12} \times 16 \pi$

= $\frac{20}{3} \pi$ = 6.67 $\pi$

Now, assuming value of $\pi$ = 3.14; so 6.67 $\pi$ = $6.67 \times 3.14$ = 20.9 inches (in nearest tenth)

Hence, the tip of the minute hand travels 20.9 inches.
