You are riding in a hot air balloon on Valentine’s Day withyour sweetheart. As you get ready to set your balloon downyou notice

that while your balloon is 500 ft above ground, your friends balloon is 800 ft above ground. The plan is for both balloons to descend straight down. Your balloon willland right at the edge of the lake below, but it appears thatyour friends will be pretty far away. You can see a reflectionof their balloon right in the middle (direct center) of the 1200 ft wide lake below.How far away from the lake will your friends touch down?

<span><u>Answer </u>
18 feet and 4.5 inches

<u>Explanation </u>
You are going to use the concept of similar triangle.
∆CED≡∆CBA
This is because they share the angle at C and also they both have an angle of 90o.
Let EC = X, then BE = 2.5X. So, BE = (X + 2.5X) = 3.5X
The scale factor EC/BC=x/3.5x=2/7
EC/BC=ED/BA=2/7
BA=7/2×63 in
The height of the tree = 220.5 inches. This is equal 18 feet and 4.5 inches.

two terms of an arithmetic sequence are a6= 40 and a20= -16. write and explicit rule for the nth term
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Tn = 64-4n

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an AP is expressed as:

Tn = a+(n-1)d

a is the common difference

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

Given the 6th term a6 = 40

T6 = a+(6-1)d

T6 = a+5d

40 = a+5d ... (1)

Given the 20th term a20 = -16

T20 = a+(20-1)d

T20 = a+19d

-16 = a+19d... (2)

Solving both equation simultaneously

40 = a+5d

-16 = a+19d

Subtracting both equation

40-(-16) = 5d-19d

56 = -14d

d = 56/-14

d = -4

Substituting d = -4 into equation

a+5d = 40

a+5(-4) = 40

a-20 = 40

a = 20+40

a = 60

Given a = 60, d = -4, to get the nth term of the sequence:

Tn = a+(n-1)d

Tn = 60+(n-1)(-4)

Tn = 60+(-4n+4)

Tn = 60-4n+4

Tn = 64-4n
