Answer: -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio of the geometric sequence –4, 12, -36,... is -3.

12/(-4) =-3

-36/(12) = -3

They both multiply -3 for the next number.

Write as logarithm with base 4: 4 -5 2 -4

NeX [460]

Answer:

log_4(256)=4

log_4(1/1024)=-5

log_4(16)=2

log_4(1/256)=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write a number, x, such that

Log_4(y)=x.

In exponential form that is 4^x=y.

So first number is x=4.

4^4=256 which means log_4(256) is 4 as a logarithm with base 4.

The second number is x=-5.

4^-5=1/4^5=1/1024 which means log_4(1/1024) is -5 as a logarithm with base 4.

The third number is x=2.

4^2=16 so log_4(16) is 2 as a logarithm with base 4.

The fourth number is x=-4.

Since 4^4=256 then 4^-4=1/256 which means -4 as a logarithm with base 4 is log_4(1/256).

Question 2

Answer:

The firefighter should extend the ladder at 54° of elevation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric Ratios

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. There are six trigonometric ratios, sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent.

The longest side of the triangle is called the hypotenuse and the other two sides are the legs.

Selecting any of the acute angles as a reference, it has an adjacent side and an opposite side. The trigonometric ratios are defined upon those sides.

Tangent Ratio:

$\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}$

The woman is trapped at 91 feet up from the ground, and the firetruck is 67 feet away from the building.

The wall, the ground, and the ladder form a right triangle, where θ is the horizontal angle of the ladder.

Being the height of the woman the opposite leg and the distance where the firetruck is parked, the adjacent leg:

$\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{91}{67}=1.3582$

The angle is calculated as the inverse tangent:

$\theta=arctan(1.3582)\approx 54^\circ$

The firefighter should extend the ladder at 54° of elevation.
