Answer:
an = -6*(1/4)^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the recursive formula for the given geometric sequence is:
a1 = -6
an = (an-1) * (1/4)
With the above we can assume that:
r = 1/4
following the rule of the explicit formula that is given by:
an = a1 * (r) ^ (n-1)
we substitute and we have:
an = -6 * (1/4) ^ (n-1)
Therefore the explicit formula from the given data would be:
an = -6 * (1/4) ^ (n-1)

Let h = height of triangle


h^2 + 12^2 = 15^2


h^2 + 144 = 225


h^2 = 225 - 144



h^2 = 81


sqrt{h^2} = sqrt{81}


h = 9 cm


For part B, we need to find surface area because it represents the perimeter of this 3-D figure. The formula needed is SA = B + LA.


1. First find the lateral area.


LA = perimeter of triangle • height


LA = ph


p = 15 + 15 + 24


p = 30 + 24


p = 54 cm


LA = (54)(9)


LA = 486 cm^2


2. We now find the base of each triangle. This is found by finding the area of each triangle and multiplying by 2.


A = (1/2)bh


A = (1/2)(24)(9)


A = 108 cm^2


A = 2•108 cm^2


A = 216 cm^2 = our B in the surface area formula.


SA = B + LA


SA = 216 cm^2 + 486 cm^2


SA = 702 cm^2


The amount of cardboard needed is 702 cm^2.

What value of B makes the expression. x² + Bx + 81 a perfect square trinomial?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

B.) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the correct b value we use this formula

b² - 4ac = 0

b = What we are solving for

a = 1

c = 81

b² - 4(1)(81) = 0

b² - 324 = 0

b² = 324

b = \sqrt{324}

b = ±18

And 18 is one of the answer choices

So B.) 18 is the correct answer.

Find the value of x.<br><br><br> A. 4.3<br> B. 2.7<br> C. 11.6<br> D. 13.9
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

<h2><u>[D] 13.9</u></h2>

Explanation:

  • <em>Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²</em>
  • <em>Solve for hypotenuse (side x) using: c = √a² + b²</em>

12.8² + 5.3² = 191.93

√191.93

= 13.8538803229

<em>Round the answer</em>

13.9
