In game 3 of the 1970 nba championship, the la lakers were down by 2 points with three seconds left in the game. the ball was inbounded to jerry west. he launched and made a miraculous shot from beyond midcourt, a distance of 60 feet, to send the game into overtime (there was no 3-point line at that time) after careful analysis of the game tape, one could determine the height at which jerry west released the ball, as well as the amount of time had elapsed between the time the ball left his hands and the time the ball reached the basket. this information could then be used to write a rule for the ball's height h in feet as a function of time in flight t in seconds. a. suppose the basketball left west's hands at a point 8 feet above the ground. what does that information tell about the rule given has a function of t?

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240

answer: two angles are called supplementary if they add up to 180°. example: the two angles (140° and 40°) are supplementary because they add up to 180°.
