Answer: The general formula for exponential sequence or GP is

GP = arn-1 , ie ar raised to the power of n-1 where a is the first term , r is the common ratio and n is the number of terms. Now to find the 14th term we first find the common ratio (r) by dividing the second term by the first term of third by second term.

r = -10/5

=. -2.

Since n is 14-1 = 13. and a is 5
we now put those values in the formula to find the 14th term

T14 = ar^n-1

= 5 x (-2)^13

= 5 x -8192

=. -40,960

There the 14th term of the GP sequence

= -40,960

A sample is a part of the population that may best represent the population. There is no sample in the above situation because Mr. Wilson made all students pick 5 note cards. He will be able to determine the performance of each student based on their performance in picking 5 note cards and defining the terms in each card.

$1900 at 9 for 2 years

vekshin1

Answer:

$342

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question

Find the simple interest on $1900 at 9% for 2 years.

Simple interest PRT/100

Given

Principal P = 1900

Rate R = 9%

Time T = 2years

Substitute

Simple interest = 1900*9*2/100

Simple interest = 19*18

Simple interest = $342

Hence the simple interest on $1900 at 9% for 2 years is $342
