Answer:
The common difference is -5/4
T(n) = T(0) - 5n/4,
where T(0) can be any number. d = -5/4
Assuming T(0) = 0, then first term
T(1) = 0 -5/4 = -5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
T(n) = T(0) + n*d
Let
S1 = T(x) + T(x+1) + T(x+2) + T(x+3) = 4*T(0) + (x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3)d = 240
S2 = T(x+4) + T(x+5) + T(x+6) + T(x+7) = 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d = 220
S2 - S1
= 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d - (4*T(0) + (x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4)d)
= (5+6+7+8 - 1 -2-3-4)d
= 4(4)d
= 16d
Since S2=220, S1 = 240
220-240 = 16d
d = -20/16 = -5/4
Since T(0) has not been defined, it could be any number.

Answer:
The slope is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two points
( -1,2) and (1,-4)
We can use the slope formula
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= ( -4 -2)/ ( 1 - -1)
= ( -4-2)/ (1+1)
= -6/2
= -3
Answer:
$693
Step-by-step explanation:
Catherine invested a principal of $1,650 in her bank account with;
interest rate of 3.1%
How much interest did she earn in 14 years?
To find the amount accumulated in the 14 years, we use the formula:
A = P(1 + rt)
Where A is the amount accumulated, P is the principal, r is the interest rate and t is the time.
A = $1650(1 +
(14))
A = $1650 + $693 = $2343
Interest = Amount (A) - Principal (P) = $2343 - $1650 = $693
