We have f(1) = -1.5;
f(2) = -2f(1), because we put n=1 in formula f(n+1)=-2f(n);

Point Z is equidistant from the vertices of ΔTUV.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

option C. Angle BTZ Is-congruent-to Angle BUZ

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Z is equidistant from the vertices of triangle T U V

So, ZT = ZU = ZV

When ZT = ZU ∴ ΔZTU is an isosceles triangle ⇒ ∠TUZ=∠UTZ

When ZT = ZV ∴ ΔZTV is an isosceles triangle ⇒ ∠ZTV=∠ZVT

When ZU = ZV ∴ ΔZUV is an isosceles triangle ⇒ ∠ZUV=∠ZVU

From the figure ∠BTZ is the same as ∠UTZ

And ∠BUZ is the same as ∠TUZ

So, the statement that must be true is option C

C.Angle BTZ Is-congruent-to Angle BUZ

What is the length of line segment EF if DE is 6ft and DF is 11ft and angle FDE is 40 degrees

Anna [14]

Answer:

The length of EF = 7.48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets consider these tree segment formed triangle DEF

- We have the length of two sides and the measure of the

including angle between these two sides

* So we can use the cos Rule to find the length of the third side

- The cos rule ⇒ a² = b² + c² - 2bc cosA

# a is the side opposite to angle A

# b is the side opposite to angle B

# c is the side opposite to angle C

# Angle A is the including angle between b and c

* In the problem

∵ DE = 6 feet

∵ DF = 11 feet

∵ m∠FDE = 40° ⇒ including angle between DE and DF

and opposite to EF

- By using cos Rule

∴ (EF)² = (DE)² + (DF)² - 2(DE)(DF) cos∠FDE

∴ (EF)² = (6)² + (11)² - 2(6)(11) cos(40)

∴ (EF)² = 55.882133 ⇒ take square root for both sides

∴ EF = 7.47543 ≅ 7.48 feet

* The length of EF = 7.48 feet

1-i need to mix 25% mineral spirits to the varnish i am using what ratio of spirit to varnish am i using? 2-if i use 240 ml of v

In-s [12.5K]

Answer: (a) The ratio of spirit to varnish is 1 : 3

(b) You will need 80 ml of mineral spirits

(c) Ratio = 3 : 2

Step-by-step explanation: (a) If you have to mix 25% mineral spirit to the varnish as required in the question, then the whole solution would effectively contain 25 percent spirit and 75 percent varnish, giving you a hundred percent solution. To express both quantities in ratio can be done as follows;

Ratio = Spirit : Varnish

Ratio = 25 : 75

Ratio = 1 : 3

(b) Next, if you use 240 ml of varnish, this quantity would constitute 75 percent or ratio 3 out of 4 of your total solution. Therefore 240 ml of varnish can be expressed as follows;

240 : x = 3 : 4

Where x is the total solution and the right hand side (3 : 4) expresses the ratio of varnish in relation to the total solution. Hence,

240/x = 3/4

By cross multiplication you now have,

3x = 240 * 4

x = 960/3

x = 320

If x is the total solution which is 320 ml, and varnish constitutes 240 ml, then spirit equals,

Spirit = Total solution - varnish

Spirit = 320 - 240

Spirit = 80.

Therefore, you would need 80 ml of mineral spirits.

(c) Robson's tapestries all measure 1.5 m by 1 m. This can be expressed in whole numbers by first eliminating the decimal. Multiplying both dimensions by 10 results in,

1.5 (10) x 1 (10)

15 x 10

If both measurements can also be expressed as 15 m by 10 m, then reducing to the least terms would result in 3 by 2. That is,

15/5 by 10/5

3 by 2

Expressed as a ratio, this now becomes

Ratio = 3 : 2

Quadrilaterals WXYZ and BADC are congruent. In addition, WX ≅ DC and XY ≅ BC.

luda_lava [24]

Answer: 20 cm

If quadrilaterals WXYZ and BADC are congruent, then their corresponding sides are congruent.

Given that

WX≅DC,

XY≅BC,

you can state that

YZ≅AB,

WZ≅AD.

If AD = 4 cm and AB = 6 cm, then WZ = 4 cm and YZ = 6 cm. Opposite rectangle sides are congruent, then XY = 4 cm and WX = 6 cm.

The perimeter of WXYZ is

P = WX + XY + YZ + WZ = 6 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 20 cm.

It takes 32 hours for a motorboat moving downriver to get from pier A to pier B. The return journey takes 48 hours. How long doe

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is T = 192.12 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat = u $\frac{km}{hr}$

Speed of current = v $\frac{km}{hr}$

Let distance between A & B = 100 km

Time taken in downstream = 32 hours

$32 = \frac{100}{u +v}$

$u + v = \frac{100}{32}$

u + v = 3.125 ------ (1)

Time taken in upstream = 48 hours

$48 = \frac{100}{u -v}$

$u -v = \frac{100}{48}$

u - v = 2.084 ------- (2)

By solving equation (1) & (2)

u = 2.6045 $\frac{km}{hr}$

v = 0.5205 $\frac{km}{hr}$

Now the time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance

$T = \frac{100}{v}$

Because un powered raft travel with the speed of the current.

$T = \frac{100}{0.5205}$

T = 192.12 hr

Therefore the time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is

T = 192.12 hr
