Answer:

a)   P₁  = 250 and    P₂ = 300

b) The explicit formula   Pₙ = 150+ 50 n

c)  P_{60}  = 3150

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given that Pₙ = pₙ₋₁ +50 and P₀ = 200

Put n =1

         P₁ = P₀+50 = 200+50 = 250

Put n =2

         P₂ = P₁+50 = 250+50 = 300

Put n=3

       P₃ = P₂+50 = 300+50 = 350

and so on

The sequence     200,250,300,350,..

<u><em>Step(ii):- </em></u>

The sequence     200,250,300,350,.. is an arithmetic sequence

The explicit formula

       Pₙ = a+(n-1)d

       Pₙ = 200+(n-1)50

       Pₙ = 200+ 50 n -50

        Pₙ = 150+ 50 n

The explicit formula   Pₙ = 150+ 50 n

c)

The n^{th} term of the sequence

       Pₙ = 150+ 50 n

put n=60

      P_{60} = 150 + 50 (60) = 3150

A commercial airplane is flying at an elevation of 15,000 feet and ascends to an elevation of 20000 feet at a rate of 1250 feet
Ksju [112]

Answer:

4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Put it into an equation

20000 = 1250x + 15000

Subtract 15000 from both sides

5000 = 1250x

Divide both sides by 1250

4 = x

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

<u>A. 83</u> is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

all angles of a triangle are always equal to 180.

46 + 51 + y = 180

97 + y = 180

180 - 97 = <u>83</u>

Have a nice day! :-)
