Answer:

  an = 12(-1/2)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your sequence has a common ratio of ...

  r = -6/12 = 3/-6 = -1/2

The first term is 12.

The explicit formula for the general term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

Using the values for this sequence, the explicit formula you want is ...

  an = 12·(-1/2)^(n -1)

__

This could be rearranged to be ...

  an = -24·(-2)^(-n)

Un cable guía de 600 pies esta sujeto a la parte superior de una torre de comunicaciones. Si el cable forma un ángulo de 65° con
natita [175]

Answer:

La torre tiene 543.78 pies de altura.

Step-by-step explanation:

Podemos pensar en esta situación como si fuera un triángulo rectángulo, donde el cable es la hipotenusa y la torre es uno de los catetos. (Abajo se puede ver un dibujo de esta situación).

Nosotros queremos encontrar el valor de H, que es el cateto opuesto al ángulo conocido de 65°.

Entonces simplemente podemos usar la relación:

Sin(θ) = (cateto opuesto)/(hipotenusa)

donde:

cateto opuesto = H

θ = 65°

hipotenusa = 600 ft

sin(65°)  = H/600ft

sin(65°)*600ft = H = 543.78 ft

La torre tiene 543.78 pies de altura.
