The first term and common ratio for the geometric sequence are -3 and 5 respectively

<h3>Geometric sequence</h3>

This are sequence that increases exponentially. The nth term of the sequence is given as:

Tn = ar^n-1

where;

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

ar = -15

ar^3 = -375

Divide

r^2 = 375/15

r^2 = 25

r = 5

Determine the first term

a= -15/r

a = -15/5

a = -3

Hence the first term and common ratio for the geometric sequence are -3 and 5 respectively

Simplify the expression below.
Degger [83]

Answer:

6x^2 +8x

Step-by-step explanation:

(12x^3 -14x^2 -40x) / (2x-5)

Factor the numerator by factoring out the greatest common factor

2x( 6x^2 -7x-20) / (2x-5)

Factor inside the parentheses

2x (3x+4)(2x-5)/ (2x-5)

Cancel like terms

2x( 3x+4)

Distribute

6x^2 +8x

brenda savings account principal 850, 5.5% annual interest rate and is compounded quarterly for 1 year. what is the compound int
Sedbober [7]
A = $ 861.69

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 5.5%/100 = 0.055 per year,
putting time into years for simplicity,
1 quarters ÷ 4 quarters/year = 0.25 years,
then, solving our equation

A = 850(1 + (0.055 × 0.25)) = 861.6875 
A = $ 861.69

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from simple interest on a principal of $ 850.00
at a rate of 5.5% per year
for 0.25 years (1 quarters) is $ 861.69.
