He lost 8, so he is at -8, he then gains 15 so add 15 to -8"-8 + 15 = 7
He gains 7 so now add 7 to the total: 7+ 7 = 14
He then loses 4, so now subtract 4 from the total: 14 - 4 = 10
Answer: He gained 10 yards.
The formula
a(n) = 2 - 5(n-1)
is in the form
a(n) = a1 + d(n-1)
where
a1 = first term = 2
d = -5 = common difference
The first term is carried over to the recursive formula. We start with a1 = 2. The next term after that is found by subtracting 5 from the previous term. So
second term = (first term) - 5
third term = (second term) - 5
and so on
The recursive step would be
a(n) = a(n-1)-5
So that's why the answer is choice C
Answer:
7 (7.07106781187)
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is find the diameter of the rectangle from two farthest corners. To do this, use the Pythagorean Theorem
(5^2) + (5^2) = c^2
25 + 25 = c^2
50 = c^2
7 ≈ c
By Pythagorean theorem
x²+GF²=EF² ( where G is the point of intersection of perpendicular lines)
now, GF=1/2 EF= 12
x²+12²=24²
x²=24²-12²
x²=432
x=√432
x=12√3
x≈20.78
Huh??? Where is the question?
