Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan(51) = opposite / adjacent

The adjacent side makes up the reference angle (51o)

The opposite side is not part of the reference angle

adjacent side = x

opposite side = 16

Tan(51) = 16 / x Multiply both sides by x

x * Tan(51) = 16 Divide by tan 51

x = 16 / tan(51)

tan(51) = 1.2349

x = 16 / 1.2349

x = 12.96

Express the terms of the following sequence by giving a recursive formula.

emmasim [6.3K]

The recursive formula for given sequence is: $a_n = a_{n-1}-7$

And the terms will be expressed as:

$a_1 = 11\\a_2 = a_{2-1} - 7 \\a_2= a_1 - 7\\a_2 = 11- 7\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = a_{3-1} - 7 \\a_3= a_2 - 7\\a_3 = 4 - 7\\a_3 = -3\\a_4 = a_{4-1} - 7 \\a_4= a_3 - 7\\ a_4= -3 - 7\\a_4 = -10\\a_5 = a_{5-1} - 7 \\a_5= a_4 - 7\\a_5 = -10 - 7\\a_5 = -17\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to determine if the given sequence is arithmetic sequence or geometric. For that purpose, we calculate the common difference and common ratio

Given sequence is:

11,4,-3,-10,-17...

Here

$a_1 = 11\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = -3\\So,\\d = a_2 - a_1 = 4-11 = -7\\d = a_3-a_2 = -3-4 = -7$
