A sequence is defined by the recursive formula f(n+) = f(n) -2. If f(1) =18 what is f(5)?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  10

=====================================================

Work Shown:

Plug in n = 1 to find the next term

f(n+1) = f(n) - 2

f(1+1) = f(1) - 2 ... replace every n with 1

f(2) = f(1) - 2

f(2) = 18-2 .... replace f(1) with 18

f(2) = 16

We'll use this to get the next term. Plug in n = 2

f(n+1) = f(n) - 2

f(2+1) = f(2) - 2 ... replace every n with 2

f(3) = f(2) - 2

f(3) = 16 - 2 ... replace f(2) with 16

f(3) = 14

This process keeps going until we reach f(5)

Plug in n = 3

f(n+1) = f(n) - 2

f(3+1) = f(3) - 2

f(4) = f(3) - 2

f(4) = 14-2

f(4) = 12

and finally plug in n = 4

f(n+1) = f(n) - 2

f(4+1) = f(4) - 2

f(5) = f(4) - 2

f(5) = 12 - 2

f(5) = 10

The summary is basically we subtract 2 from each term to get the next term. The sequence is 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 which is arithmetic.

The average wage for an electrician in CA is $25.47/hour. That is 11% above the national average. What is the national average?​

Answers

Answer:

$22.95/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the average wage for an electrician in CA is $25.47/hour. That is 11% above the national average.

Let as consider x be the national average.

11% above the national average is

[tex]x+\dfrac{11}{100}x=x+0.11x=1.11x[/tex]

The average wage for an electrician in CA is 11% above the national average. So,

[tex]1.11x=25.47[/tex]

Divide both sides by 1.11.

[tex]x=\dfrac{25.47}{1.11}[/tex]

[tex]x=22.945945...[/tex]

[tex]x=22.95[/tex]

Therefore, the national average is $22.95/hour.

A student is asked to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The length of one leg is 26
centimeters, and the length of the other leg is 24 centimeters. The student incorrectly says that the
length of the hypotenuse is 7.1 centimeters. Answer parts a and b.
a. Find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.​

Answers

Answer:

c ≅ 35.4 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the Hypotenuse of a triangle, the formula  a² + b² = c² will need to be used. Therefore:

26² + 24² = c² (c is the hypotenuse)

1252 = c²

√1252 = c

c ≈35.38

Round to tenths place:

c ≅ 35.4 cm. This is the Hypotenuse of the triangle.

how to solve 4(7-3x)=7(4-2x)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you distribute the 4 and 7 to the stuff inside the parentheses 28 - 12x = 28 - 14x then add 28 to both sides -12x = -14x then add 14x to both sides 2x = 0 then divide both sides by 2 x = 0

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

4(7-3x)=7(4-2x)

Distribute

28 -12x = 28 -14x

Subtract 28 from each side

-12x = -14x

Add 14x to each side

-12x+14x = -14x+14x

2x=0

x =0

the ramp to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Answers

Answer:

The height of the ramp is 1.39 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

A wheelchair ramp is 8.0 m long

The angle of inclination is 10°

It is required to find the rise of  the ramp.

Here, hypotenuse is 8 m and angle of inclination is 10°.

Using trigonometry to find it.

[tex]\sin\theta=\dfrac{x}{8}[/tex]

x is rise of the ramp

[tex]x=\sin(8)\times 10\\\\x=1.39\ m[/tex]

So, the height of the ramp is 1.39 m.

For the parallelogram ABCD the extensions of the angle bisectors AG and BH intersect at point P. Find the area of the parallelogram, if DG = GH, AB = 39 in, GP = 12 in.

Answers

Answer:

The area of a parallelogram is 360 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Where DG = GH

GP = 12 in.

AB = 39 in.

∠DAB + ∠ABC = 180° (Adjacent angles of a parallelogram)

Whereby ∠DAB is bisected by AG and ∠ABC is bisected by BH

Therefore, ∠GAB + ∠HBA = 90°

Hence, ∠BPA = 90° (Sum of interior angles of a triangle)

[tex]cos(\angle GAB) = \dfrac{AP}{AB} = \dfrac{AP}{39} = \dfrac{GP}{GH} =\dfrac{12}{GH}[/tex]

We note that ∠AGD = ∠GAB (Alternate angles of parallel lines)

∴ ∠AGD = ∠AGD since ∠AGD = ∠GAB (Bisected angle)

Hence AD = DG (Side length of isosceles triangle)

The bisector of ∠ADG is parallel to BH and will bisect AG at point Q

Hence ΔDAQ  ≅ ΔDGQ ≅ ΔGPH and AQ = QG = GP

Hence, AP = 3 × GP = 3 × 12 = 36

[tex]cos(\angle GAB) = \dfrac{AP}{AB} = \dfrac{36}{39}[/tex]

[tex]\angle GAB = cos^{-1} \left (\dfrac{36}{39} \right )[/tex]

∠GAB = 22.62°

[tex]cos(\angle GAB) = \dfrac{36}{39} = \dfrac{12}{GH}[/tex]

[tex]GH = \dfrac{39}{36} \times {12}[/tex]

GH = 13 in.

∴ AD 13 in.

BP = 39 × sin(22.62°) = 15 in.

GH = √(GP² + HP²)

∠DAB = 2 × 22.62° = 45.24°

The height of the parallelogram = AD × sin(∠DAB) =  13 × sin(45.24°)

The height of the parallelogram = 120/13 =  9.23 in.

The area of a parallelogram = Base × Height = (120/13) × 39 = 360 in.²

Answer:

360 in2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure ABCD is a parallelogram, so the side AB is parallel to the side DC, and that means the angle mBAG is equal the angle mHGP.

The angles mHGP and mAGD are vertically opposite angles, so mHGP = mAGD.

The angle mDAG is equal the angle mBAG, so mDAG = mBAG = mHGP = mAGD

The angles mDAG and mAGD are equal, so the triangle DAG is isosceles, that means the side DG is equal the side DA.

In the same way, we can find that the angle mCBH is equal the angle mBHC, so triangle BCH is isosceles, meaning that side BC (which is equal side AD) is equal side CH, so we have that:

DG + GH + HC = AB = 39

GH + GH + GH = 39

GH = 13

in the parallelogram we have the property:

mDAB + mABC = 180°

We have that mGAB = mDAB/2 and mABH = mABC/2, so using this information for the sum of internal angles of triangle APB, we have:

mGAB + mABH + mBPA = 180

mDAB/2 + mABC/2 + mBPA = 180

(180/2) + mBPA = 180

mBPA = 90°

If the triangle APB is a right triangle, we can find the cosine of the angle mHGP:

cos(mHGP) = GP / GH = 12 / 13

Then, we can find the sine of mHGP using:

sin(mHGP)^2 + cos(mHGP)^2 = 1

sin(mHGP)^2 + 144/169 = 1

sin(mHGP)^2 = 25/169

sin(mHGP) = 5/13

If we draw the height of the triangle GPH relative to the side GH, we have:

sin(mHGP) = height / GP

5 / 13 = height / 12

height = 60/13

The triangles GPH and APB are similar (using the case angle-angle), so we can use this relation to find the height 'h2' of the triangle APB:

height / (h2+height) = GH / AB

(60/13) / (h2 + (60/13)) = 13/39 = 1/3

180 / 13 = h2 + (60/13)

h2 = 120/13

Then the area of the parallelogram is:

Area = AB * h2 = 39 * 120/13 = 360 in2
