The first term(a1) is 3
The second term (a2) is obtained by multiplying 3*(-5)
The third term A3 by multiplying 3 * -5 -5 = a2 times -5
Than you go on and one with that
But your answer is
A1=3;an+1=an(-5)

Finding the area of a regular polygon​
ddd [48]
<h2><u>Solu</u><u>tion</u><u>:</u></h2>

360° ÷ 10 ÷ 2 = 18°

So the length of the decagon side is:

10 × tan18° × 2 = 20 × tan18°

The area is: ½ × 20 × tan18° × 10 × 10 = 1000 × tan18°

≈ 324.9

.: <u>3</u><u>2</u><u>4</u><u>.</u><u>9</u> is the final answer.

19 + x/2 = 4<br> How do I do this
GuDViN [60]

Answer: x = -30

Steps:  19 + x/2 = 4

Subtract 19 from both sides: 19 + x/2 - 19 = 4 - 19

Simplify: x/2 = 15

Multiply both sides by two: x/2 (2) = -15 (2)

Simplify: x = -30

Someone please explain (:
GaryK [48]

Answer:

a.) 1.38 seconds

b.) 17.59ft

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 22.08t + 6

if we were to graph this, the vertex of the function would be the point, which if we substituted into the function would give us the maximum height.

to find the vertex, since we are dealing with something called "quadratic form" ax^2+bx+c, we can use a formula to find the vertex

-b/2a

b=22.08

a=-16

-22.08/-16, we get 1.38 when the minuses cancel out. since our x is time, it will be 1.38 seconds

now since the vertex is 1.38, we can substitute 1.38 into the function to find the maximum height.

h(1.38)= -16(1.38)^2 + 22.08t + 6 -----> is maximum height.

approximately = 17.59ft -------> calculator used, and rounded to 2 significant figures.

for c the time can be equal to (69+sqrt(8511))/100, as the negative version would be incompatible since we are talking about time. or if you wanted a rounded decimal, approx 1.62 seconds.

sveta [45]

Answer:

24.8 km

Step-by-step explanation

To do this we would just multiply 24.8 by 10,000 which is 248000 and if we divide that by 10000 (to get km) we would get 24.8km

Hana is playing a virtual reality game in which she must toss a disc to land on the largest triangular section of the board. If
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Her probability of success is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to calculate the area of the entire board

That would be the rectangle of the measure 50 cm by 40 cm

We have the area as the product of this two

That would be 50 * 40 = 2,000 cm^2

Now, the value calculated is the area of the entire possible landing area

Secondly, we need to get the area that counts as a success

that would be the area of the triangle that has a base of 50 cm and a height of 40 cm

The area of this is the product of the two divided by 2

we have this as ;

50 * 40 * 1/2 = 1,000 cm^2

So, her probability of success is simply the area of the triangle divided by the area of the rectangle

= 1000/2000 = 1/2
