This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by
2
3

gives the next term. In other words,

Answer:
a) -3
b) 117
c) 100
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) 2(1)²-5(1)
1²= 1
2×1= 2
2-5= -3
(b) 2(9)²-5(9)
9²= 81
81×2= 162
162-45= 117
(c) 2(4)²-5(4) +2(8)²-5(4)
4²=16
16×2= 32
32-20= 12
8²=64
64×2= 128
128-40= 88
88+12= 100

45.3 meters (100 centimeters is one meter)
Isosceles Triangle, has 2 equal sides and angles.
A.)
<span>s= 30m
u = ? ( initial velocity of the object )
a = 9.81 m/s^2 ( accn of free fall )
t = 1.5 s
s = ut + 1/2 at^2
\[u = \frac{ S - 1/2 a t^2 }{ t }\]
\[u = \frac{ 30 - ( 0.5 \times 9.81 \times 1.5^2) }{ 1.5 } \]
\[u = 12.6 m/s\]
</span>
b.)
<span>s = ut + 1/2 a t^2
u = 0 ,
s = 1/2 a t^2
\[s = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \times a \times t ^{2}\]
\[s = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \times 9.81 \times \left( \frac{ 12.6 }{ 9.81 } \right)^{2}\]
\[s = 8.0917...\]
\[therfore total distance = 8.0917 + 30 = 38.0917.. = 38.1 m \] </span>
