<span>First of all, there should be coherence for the units of measurement -- either they are all meters or they are all ft. I would assume they are all ft.
The correct answer is 75 ft above. T
The explanation is the following: suppose the ground level is the x-axis, the 2 feet of the arch lie respectively on (0,0) and (100,0) on the ground level. Since the arch is 100ft high, the vertex of the parabola will be the point (100,100). Thus, we can find the equation describing the parabola by putting the three points we know in a system and we find that the equation of the parabola is y=(-1/100)x^2+2
To find the focus F, we apply the formula for the focus of a vertical axis parabola, i.e. F(-b/2a;(1-b^2+4ac)/4a).
By substituting a=-1/100, b=2 and c=0 into the formula, we find that the coordinates of the focus F are (100,75).
So we conclude that the focus lies 75ft above ground.</span>
Answer:
c) multiply the numerators, multiply the denominators, and then simplify.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) 36
b) 5
c) 3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The recursive formula that defines the given sequence is

That means we keep adding 4 to the subsequent terms:
The sequence will be:
12,16,20,24,28,32,36,...
Therefore the seventh term is 36.
2) The sequence is recursively defined by;

This means, we have to keep subtracting 5 from the subsequent terms.
The sequence will be;
20,15,10,5,...
Therefore the fourth term is 5
3) The sequence is recursively defined by:
f(n+1)=f(n)+0.5
where f(1)=-1.5
This means that, the subsequent terms can be found by adding 0.5 to the previous terms.
The sequence will be:
-1.5,-1.0,-0.5,0,0.5,1,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,....
Therefore f(10)=3.0
