Answer:
aₙ = -15 + 10 * (n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)*d a₁: first term d: common difference
a₅ a₁ + 4d =25 .... (1)
a₁₁ a₁ + 10d = 85 ...(2)
(2) - (1) 6d = 60
d = 10
a₁ = -15
Formula: aₙ = -15 + 10 * (n-1)
Because ΔABC ≅ ΔHJK
AB = HJ (corr. sides, ≅ Δs)
HJ = 3.5cm
Answer:
2.25 seconds
87 feet
[6, 87]
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of a projectile is:
h(t) = -16t² + vt + s
where v is the initial vertical velocity and s is the initial height.
Here, v = 72 and s = 6.
h(t) = -16t² + 72t + 6
This is a downwards parabola. The maximum is at the vertex.
t = -b / (2a)
t = -72 / (2×-16)
t = 2.25
h(2.25) = 87
It takes 2.25 seconds to reach the maximum height of 87 feet.
The range is from the lowest height (6 feet) to the maximum height (87 feet). In interval notation:
