Answer:
2n - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Note there is a common difference d between consecutive terms of the sequence, that is
d = - 7 - (- 9) = - 5 - (- 7) = - 7 + 9 = - 5 + 7 = 2
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 9 and d = 2, thus
= - 9 + 2(n - 1) = - 9 + 2n - 2 = 2n - 11
The area of a right triangle with side lengths 7 and 7 is
Answer:
5507.79 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the height of the mountain, we can draw triangles as in the image attached.
Let's call the height of the mountain 'h', and the distance from the first point (31 degrees) to the mountain 'x'.
Then, we can use the tangent relation of the angles:
tan(34) = h/x
tan(31) = h/(x+1000)
tan(31) is equal to 0.6009, and tan(34) is equal to 0.6745, so:
h/x = 0.6745 -> x = h/0.6745
using this value of x in the second equation:
h/(x+1000) = 0.6009
h/(h/0.6745 + 1000) = 0.6009
h = 0.6009 * (h/0.6745 + 1000)
h = 0.8909*h + 600.9
0.1091h = 600.9
h = 600.9 / 0.1091 = 5507.79 feet
