You visit the grand canyon and drop a penny off the edge of a cliff. the distance the penny will fall is 16 feet the first second, 48 feet the next second, 80 feet the third second, and so on in an arithmetic sequence. what distance will the penny fall in the sixth second?

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance the penny will fall is 16 feet the first second, 48 feet the next second, 80 feet the third second, and so on in an arithmetic sequence. The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n-1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

n represents the number of terms

d represents the common difference.

From the information given,

a = 16

d = 48 - 16 = 80 - 48 =32

n = 6

T6 represents the sixth term of the sequence. Therefore

T6 = 16 + (6-1)32

T6 = 16 + 160

T6 = 176

the answers c

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
