What is the next term in the sequence below? -324,108,-36,12,...

2 answers:

5 0

This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -1/3 and an initial term of -324. Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), in this case a=-324 and r=-1/3 so
a(n)=-324(-1/3)^(n-1) so the 5th term will be
a(5)=-324(-1/3)^4
a(5)=-324/81
a(5)= -4

Answer:

sum of the interior angles x and y gives the exterior angle z

(4n-18)°+(n+8)°=(133-6n)°

4n°-18°+n°+8°=133°-6n°

4n°+n°-18°+8°=133°-6n°

5n°-10°=133°-6n°

5n°+6n°=133°+10°

11n°=143°

11°n/11°=143°/11°

n=13

exterior angle=133-6×13

=133-78

=55

7. A man makes a simple discount note for $6,200, at an ordinary bank discount rate of 8.84%, for 40 days. What is the effective

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The effective interest rate, rounded to the nearest tenth, is 0.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The banker's rule is the simple interest formula.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly) and t is the time, in years.

The effective interest rate is given by the following formula:

$E_{IR} = \frac{E}{P}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

A man makes a simple discount note for $6,200, at an ordinary bank discount rate of 8.84%, for 40 days. We consider that the year has 360 days. This means that $P = 6200, I = 0.0884, t = \frac{40}{360} = \frac{1}{9}$ .

$E = 6200*0.0884*\frac{1}{9} = 60.9$

The effective interest rate is

$E_{IR} = \frac{E}{P} = \frac{60.9}{6200} = 0.0098 = 0.001$

The effective interest rate, rounded to the nearest tenth, is 0.1%.

A piece of electronic equipment is built with 3 cooling fans. The equipment will function only if at least 2 of the 3 fans are w

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

0.66608

Step-by-step explanation:

Equipment = 3 fans

Mortality = 0.098

We are required to find probability that equipment gets to work for 5years

The question says forces of mortality is constant and also equal to 0.098

To calculate p(x>5)

We will do this by calculating exponentially

e^-0.098x5

= 0.612626394

Probability that at least 2 fans out of 3 are working

3(0.612626394)²+(1-0.612626394)+(0.612626394)³

= 1.1259333x0.3873736+0.2299255

= 0.6660823470

This is approximately

0.6608

this is the probability that the equipment will work for at least 5years
