Answer:

an = 5/2 +3/2(n -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference is ...

4 -5/2 = 3/2

The general rule is ...

an = a1 +d(n -1)

For a1 = 5/2 and d = 3/2, the rule for this sequence is ...

an = 5/2 +3/2(n -1)

___

This can be simplified to ...

an = 1 +3/2n

The sears tower in chicago is 1450 feet high. A model of the tower is 24 inches tall. What is the ratio of the height of the mod

Dominik [7]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{725}$

The sear tower is $725$ times higher than the sears tower model

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual sears tower is equal to the scale factor

Let

z------> the scale factor

x-------> the height of the model

y-------> the height of the actual

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=24\ in$

$y=1,450\ ft$

substitute

$z=\frac{24}{1,450}\frac{in}{ft}$

simplify

$z=\frac{12}{725}\frac{in}{ft}$

Remember that

$1\ ft=12\ in$

$\frac{12}{725}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{1}{725}\frac{ft}{ft}$

Space Shuttle Marion is observing the launch of a space

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Using the slope concept, it is found that the shuttle traveled 3.2 miles while Marion was watching.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

Initially, the angle of elevation is of 16º, with an elevation of 1 mi, hence:

$\tan{16^\circ} = \frac{1}{x_1}$

$x_1 = \frac{1}{\tan{16^\circ}}$

$x_1 = 3.5$

Then, at the end, the angle will be of 74º, with the elevation remaining constant, hence:

$\tan{74^\circ} = \frac{1}{x_2}$

$x_2 = \frac{1}{\tan{74^\circ}}$

$x_2 = 0.3$

The distance is:

$d = x_1 - x_2 = 3.5 - 0.3 = 3.2$

The shuttle traveled 3.2 miles while Marion was watching.
