Answer:

132-5 therefore the height from the eyes to the window is 127

100 feet away from the base of the tower  

This forms two legs of a triangle

trying to find the degrees of this triangle.

Since its the two legs, you can use tanx which = to opposite side/adjacent side

Therefore, it is tanx = 127/100

But you are looking for x so arctan(1.27)

Must use calculator to find x.

Write the first five terms of the sequence defined by the recursive formula
Arada [10]

Answer:

The second option is the correct answer

The sequence is : 0, -1, -6, -31, -156

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,  

The recursive formula , an = 5a(n-1) - 1 and a1 = 0

<u>To find a2, a3, a4, a5 </u>

a2 = 5a1 -1 = 5x0 - 1 = -1

a3 = 5a2 - 1 = (5x -1 ) - 1 = - 5 - 1 = -6

a4 = 5a3 - 1 =(5x -6) - 1 = -30 - 1= -31

a5 = 5a4 - 1 = (5 x -31 ) - 1 = -155 -1 = -156

Therefore the resulting sequence is

0, -1, -6, -31 ,-156

Soit trois nombres consécutifs. Lorsque l’on soustrait le double du deuxième nombre du quadruple du
irina [24]

Answer:

Les trois nombres sont 5, 6 et 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Soit x le premier nombre.

x + 1 sera le second et x + 2 sera le troisième.

On pose l'équation :

2x + 3(x + 1) = 4(x + 2)

2x + 3x + 3 = 4x + 8

5x - 4x = 8 - 3

x = 5
