We're given the hypotenuse and one side and we're looking for the missing side so use pythagorean.

20² - 16² = 144²

Square root of 144 = 12 feet

$\huge \purple{\tt{Answer:}}$

$(AB)^2 = (AC)^2 - (BC)^2 \\\\\ \implies (AB)^2 = (20)^2 - (16)^2 \\\\\ \implies AB^2 = 400-256 \\\\\ \implies AB^2 = 144 \\\\\ AB = {\sqrt{144}} \\\\\ \implies AB=12 ~feet$

If ||| m, solve for x and y.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

x = 11, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(13x - 19) and (9x + 25) are corresponding angles and congruent, thus

13x - 19 = 9x + 25 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

4x - 19 = 25 ( add 19 to both sides )

4x = 44 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 11

Then

13x - 19 = 13(11) - 19 = 143 - 19 = 124

(17y + 5) and 124 are alternate angles and are supplementary, thus

17y + 5 + 124 = 180, that is

17y + 129 = 180 ( subtract 129 from both sides )

17y = 51 ( divide both sides by 17 )

y = 3

Determine formula of the nth term 2, 6, 12 20 30,42

nalin [4]

Check the forward differences of the sequence.

If $\{a_n\} = \{2,6,12,20,30,42,\ldots\}$ , then let $\{b_n\}$ be the sequence of first-order differences of $\{a_n\}$ . That is, for n ≥ 1,

$b_n = a_{n+1} - a_n$

so that $\{b_n\} = \{4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\}$ .

Let $\{c_n\}$ be the sequence of differences of $\{b_n\}$ ,

$c_n = b_{n+1} - b_n$

and we see that this is a constant sequence, $\{c_n\} = \{2, 2, 2, 2, \ldots\}$ . In other words, $\{b_n\}$ is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

$2 = b_{n+1} - b_n \implies b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

and we can solve for $b_n$ in terms of $b_1=4$ :

$b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-1}+2) + 2 = b_{n-1} + 2\times2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-2}+2) + 2\times2 = b_{n-2} + 3\times2$

and so on down to

$b_{n+1} = b_1 + 2n \implies b_{n+1} = 2n + 4 \implies b_n = 2(n-1)+4 = 2(n + 1)$

We solve for $a_n$ in the same way.

$2(n+1) = a_{n+1} - a_n \implies a_{n+1} = a_n + 2(n + 1)$

Then

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-1} + 2n) + 2(n+1) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-1} + 2 ((n+1) + n)$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-2} + 2(n-1)) + 2((n+1)+n) \\ ~~~~~~~ = a_{n-2} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1))$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-3} + 2(n-2)) + 2((n+1)+n+(n-1)) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-3} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1) + (n-2))$

and so on down to

$a_{n+1} = a_1 + 2 \displaystyle \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} k = 2 + 2 \times \frac{n(n+3)}2$

$\implies a_{n+1} = n^2 + 3n + 2 \implies \boxed{a_n = n^2 + n}$

2(x+3)^2+2(y)^2=32 what is the center point of the circle and how long is the radius

spayn [35]

Answer:

center (-3, 0)
radius 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form equation of a circle is ...

(x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2 . . . . . . . . . center at (h, k), radius r

Divide your given equation by 2 to put it into standard form:

(x +3)^2 +y^2 = 16

Comparing to the above, we see ...

h = -3
k = 0
r = √16 = 4

The center point of the circle is (-3, 0); the radius is 4 units long.
