Sam sees a UFO hovering in the sky. He measures the angle of elevation of the UFO at 30 . He calls Julie, who is 15 miles closer to the UFO and asks her what her angle of elevation to the UFO is. She measures it to be 55 . The alien in the UFO sees the two kids and flies to a point directly over Julie's head (same altitude). This flight takes exactly one minute. How fast did the UFO move in miles per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

homozygous. one is homozygous, while two is heterozygous.

what’s the question?

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
