The common difference of the sequence is -3 and the fifth term is 5

<h3>How to determine the common difference?</h3>

The sequence is given as:

17, 14, 11, 8....

The common difference is

d = T2 - T1

So, we have

d = 14 - 17

Evaluate

d = -3

Hence, the common difference of the sequence is -3

<h3>How to determine the fifth term?</h3>

The fifth term is calculated as:

T5 = a + 4d

Where

a = T1 = 17

d = -3

So, we have:

T5 = 17 - 4 * 3

Evaluate

T5 = 5

Hence, the fifth term is 5

<h3>How to determine the nth term?</h3>

The nth term is calculated as:

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Hence, the nth term is Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Firstly, solve the effective annual interest (ieff) with the equation,

ieff = (1 + i/m)^m -1

where i is the interest rate and m is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year. In this problem, m is 12

Substituting the values,
ieff = (1 + 0.034/12)^12 - 1 =0.03453

To solve for the future (F) amount of the present investment (P),

F = P x (1 + ieff)^n

where n is number of years.

F = ($742) x (1 + 0.03453)^15

Thus, the answer is $1234.76.

Answer:

Constant Term

The term in a simplified algebraic expression or equation which contains no variable(s). If there is no such term, the constant term is 0.

Example: –5 is the constant term in p(x) = 2x3 – 4x2 + 9x – 5
