EXPLANATION

Given the arithmetic sequence -10, -17, -24, -31, ...

First we need to apply the constant difference formula:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Checking wheter the difference is constant:

-17-\mleft(-10\mright)=-7,\: \quad \: -24-\mleft(-17\mright)=-7,\: \quad \: -31-\mleft(-24\mright)=-7\mathrm{The\: difference\: between\: all\: of\: the\: adjacent\: terms\: is\: the\: same\: and\: equal\: to}d=-7\mathrm{The\: first\: element\: of\: the\: sequence\: is}a_1=-10a_n=a_1+\mleft(n-1\mright)d\mathrm{Therefore,\: the\: }n\mathrm{th\: term\: is\: computed\: by}\:d=-7,\: a_n=-7\mleft(n-1\mright)-10\mathrm{Refine}d=-7,\: a_n=-7n-3

Hence, the arithmetic sequence is as follows;

a_n=-7\mleft(n-1\mright)-10

The appropiate option is OPTION C

Since each side is the same length, divide the perimeter by side length to get the number of sides.

36in ÷ 12in = 3

A triangle has 3 sides.

Walt's Marina generated the following regression based on the number and cost of daily rentals of its boat slips to boat owners
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The answer is "Option A and Option B"

Step-by-step explanation:

In question 1:

The fixed cost=2621.21  

The unit variable cost=35.58  

Calculating the total cost for 45 boat slips:

=2621.21+(45 \times 35.58)\\\\=2621.21+(1601.1)\\\\=4222.31 \approx 4222

In question 2:

It is the pure fixed costs that remain consistent in total regardless of dynamic loads. An overall cost B both for 1000 and 2000 unit is unchanged, therefore the Cost B is a fixed sum.

How long will it take for an investment to triple if it is compounded continuously at 12%
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

9.694 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the investment is $P.

So, we are asked to determine the time it will grow to triple with the compound interest rate of 12%.

Let the time is y years.

So, from the formula of compound interest we can write

3P = P(1 + \frac{12}{100} )^{y}

⇒ (1 + \frac{12}{100} )^{y} = 3

⇒ (1.12)^{y} = 3

Now, taking log both sides we get,

y log 1.12 = log 3 {Since, \log a^{b} = b \log a }

⇒ 0.04922y = 0.477712

⇒ y = 9.694 years (Answer)

Tom [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

24% of 800 ➡ 800 ÷ 100 × 24 = 192

75% of 1000 ➡ 1000 ÷ 100 × 75 = 750
