Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we see a1 = 6.

that is the starting value. everything else then (to generate the new sequence elements) is added to this.

so, B and C are out.

and clearly, for every new sequence element we add -3. and we do this for every sequence element except for a1. so we add -3 (n-1) times.

therefore, only D is correct.

A right triangle has a side of length 1 fourth and a hypotenuse of length 1 third. What is the length of the other side?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The other side = $\frac{1}{12}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle has a side of length $\frac{1}{4}$ units and;

the hypotenuse is $\frac{1}{3}$

According to Pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c² , where a and b are the two legs of a triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

Lets say a² = $(\frac{1}{4}) ^2$ and c² = ( $(\frac{1}{3} )^2$

b² = c² - a²

b² = $\frac{1}{9}$ - $\frac{1}{16}$ = $\frac{1}{144}$

So b = $\sqrt{1/144}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$ units.

So the other side = $\frac{1}{12}$ units.

Given the two points what is the slope of the line?<br> (4,2) (10.4)

zlopas [31]

$m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\\ m=\frac{4-2}{10-4} \\m = \frac{2}{6} \\\\m=\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1/3. In case if you want the equation too.

$y=mx+b\\y=\frac{1}{3}x+b\\ 2=\frac{1}{3}(4)+b\\ 2=\frac{4}{3}+b\\ b=-\frac{4}{3}+2\\ b=-\frac{4}{3} +\frac{6}{3}\\ b=\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, the equation is y=1/3x+2/3
