Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the square of the remaining sides. The hypotenuse is the longest side (that is side opposite to the 90° angle).

In right angle triangle ABD:

AB² = AD² + BD²     (1)

In right angle triangle ACD:

AC² = AD² + CD²      (2)

Also:

AC² + AB² = BC²       (3)

But BC = BD + CD

AC² + AB² = (BD + CD)²     (4)

Adding equation 1 and 2 gives:

AB² + AC² = (AD² + BD²) + (AD² + CD²)  

AB² + AC² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

substituting AC² + AB² = (BD + CD)²:

(BD + CD)² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

BD² + 2(BD)(CD)+ CD² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

2AD² = 2(BD)(CD)

AD² = BD * CD

A sequence is defined by the function f(n)=f(n-1)+5. Where n represents the number of the term for n>1 and f(1)=-4. What are
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The first four terms of the above sequence are 1, 6, 11, 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is defined by the function f(n)=f(n-1)+5.

Where n represents the number of the term for n>1

First Put n = 2

f(2)=f(2-1)+5.

    = f (1) + 5

    = -4 + 5

    = 1

Second Put n = 3

f(3)=f(3-1)+5.

    = f (2) + 5

    = 1 + 5

    = 6

Third Put n = 4

f(4)=f(4-1)+5.

    = f (3) + 5

    =  6+ 5

    = 11

Second Put n = 5

f(5)=f(5-1)+5.

    = f (4) + 5

    = 11 + 5

    = 16

Therefore the first four terms of the above sequence are 1, 6, 11, 16.

Explain why one half times two equals one whole
djverab [1.8K]
Two halfs equal one whole. think of it like this, an orange cut in half leaves you with two halfs, put them together and you have a whole. simple. multiplying by 2 just means adding a number two times.
1 half plus one half= 2halves= 1 whole
1half x 2= 2 halves=1 whole
