Hey there! I'm happy to help!
So we want to see which of these have the greatest value. Since these are all negative numbers, we want the one that is closest to zero.
So, we know that -1000 is going to furthest from 0. -10 will be further than -8 since it is a larger negative number, so it will be more negative than -8.
-1/2 is just barely negative, so it is going to be closer to -0 than -8, so the correct answer is C. -1/2.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
Answer:
Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we can generate the recursive sequence, we need to find the nth term of the given sequence.
nth term of an AP is given as:
Tn = a+(n-1)d
If a17 = -40
T17 = a+(17-1)d = -40
a+16d = -40 ...(1)
If a28 = -73
T28 = a+(28-1)d = -73
a+27d = -73 ...(2)
Solving both equations simultaneously using elimination method.
Subtracting 1 from 2 we have:
27d - 16d = -73-(-40)
11d = -73+40
11d = -33
d = -3
Substituting d = -3 into 1
a+16(-3) = -40
a - 48 = -40
a = -40+48
a = 8
Given a = 8, d = -3, the nth term of the sequence will be
Tn = 8+(n-1) (-3)
Tn = 8+(-3n+3)
Tn = 8-3n+3
Tn = 11-3n
Given Tn = 11-3n and d = -3
Tn-1 = Tn - d... (3)
Tn-1 = 11-3n +3
Tn-1 = 14-3n
Tn-2 = Tn-2d...(4)
Tn-2 = 11-3n-2(-3)
Tn-2 = 11-3n+6
Tn-2 = 17-3n
From 3, d = Tn - Tn-1
From 4, d = (Tn - Tn-2)/2
Equating both common difference
(Tn - Tn-2)/2 = Tn - Tn-1
Tn - Tn-2 = 2(Tn - Tn-1)
Tn - Tn-2 = 2Tn-2Tn-1
2Tn-Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2
Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2
The recursive formula will be
Tn = 2Tn-1 - Tn-2
Answer:
170.84
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
b) 158
Step-by-step explanation:
The two horizontal lines are called parallel lines so x is the same as the given angle and the ones diagonal from them would be the same as well.
Answer:
The height is 5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
V = l*w*h where l is length, w is width and h is height
165 = 11*3 * h
165 = 33h
Divide each side by 33
165 /33 = 33h/33
5 = h
The height is 5 inches
