Answer:

4.3 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 73°

Horizontal distance from foot of ladder to bottom of wall = x feets

Height of ladder = 14 feets

The horizontal distance, x :

Using trigonometry :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = 14 / x

Tan 73 = 14 / x

3.2708526 * x = 14

x = 14 / 3.2708526

x = 4.2802295

x = 4.3 feets

What is the recursive formula of the geometric sequence?<br> 1, 5, 25, 125, 625, ...
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The recursive formula of the geometric sequence is given by option D; an = (1) × (5)^(n - 1) for n ≥ 1

<h3>How to determine recursive formula of a geometric sequence?</h3>

Given: 1, 5, 25, 125, 625, ...

  • first term, a = 1

  • Common ratio, r = 25/5

= 5

  • n = number of terms

an = a × r^(n - 1)

= 1 × 5^(n - 1)

an = (1) × (5)^(n - 1) for n ≥ 1

Chris has a blue coat and a
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: P = 0.125 = 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that he has a blue coat and a black coat.

If he dresses at random, then the probability of getting the blue coat is equal to the quotient between the number of blue coats (1) and the total number of coats (2).

Then the probability is:

p = 1/2

We also know that he has blue pants and brown pants, the probability of getting at random the blue pants is calculated in the same way than above, then:

q = 1/2

And for the shirt he has a blue shirt and a red one, the probability of randomly selecting the blue one is calculated in the same way than above, then:

k = 1/2

Now, the joint probability (he selects all blue clothes) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities:

P = p*q*k = (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = 1/8 = 0.125
