Answer:

Formula

A = 1/2 b * h

Substitute

Area = 60 in^2

b = x

h = 2x - 1

60= 1/2 * x * (2x - 1)

Solve

60 = 1/2 * x (2x - 1) Multiply by 2

60 * 2 = x(2x - 1)

120 = x (2x - 1) Remove the brackets.

120 = 2x^2 - x  Subtract 120 from both sides.

2x^2 -  x - 120 = 0 This factors.

(2x + 15)(x - 8) = 0

Solve for x

2x + 15 = 0

2x = - 15

x = -15/2

x = - 7.5 a negative measurement is useless. Discard this answer.

x - 8 = 0

x = 8

Area (Check)

base = 8

height = 16 - 1 = 15

Area = 1/2 * 8 * 15 = 60 as it should

Answer

Use Area = 1/2 * b * h to find the base and the height.Step-by-step explanation:

if f(1) = -5 and f(n) = f(n-1) +7, find the first four terms and the common difference of the sequence
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

- 5, 2, 9, 16 and d = + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

to obtain the first four terms substitute n = 2, 3, 4 into the recursive formula

f(1) = - 5 ← given

f(2) = f(1) + 7 = - 5 + 7 = 2

f(3) = f(2) + 7 = 2 + 7 = 9

f(4) = f(3) + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16

common difference d = 16 - 9 = 9 - 2 = 2 - (- 5) = 7

(9h+3)(−h−1) porfavor ayudenme con esta pregunta.
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

-9h² - 12h - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Follow the FOIL method:

FOIL = First, Outside, Inside, Last

Multiply the terms together:

First: 9h * -h = -9h²

Outside: 9h * -1 = -9h

Inside: 3 * -h = -3h

Last: 3 * -1 = -3

Combine like terms: 9h² + (-9h - 3h) - 3

9h² - 12h - 3

-9h² - 12h - 3 is your answer.
