8 0

ANSWER:

24/5

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following geometric sequence:

s=-\frac{3}{5},\frac{6}{5},\frac{-12}{5}

To know the following term, we must know the common ratio, like this:

\begin{gathered} r=\frac{-\frac{12}{5}}{\frac{6}{5}}=-2 \\ r=\frac{\frac{6}{5}}{-\frac{3}{5}}=-2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the following term should be:

-\frac{12}{5}\cdot-2=\frac{24}{5}

What is the square root of 111.2
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Well that whole thing is to the power of 2, so whatever the square root is, it gets multiplied by itself again just to get 111.2, so the solution to that question is 111.2.

Carlos purchased a leather sofa four years ago for $1,500.00. Since he purchased it, its value has been decreasing by 30% per
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

A) Table:

Value of the sofa in dollars:

Year       Value

   0         $1,500

   1         $1,050

   2        $735

   3        $514.50

   4        $360.15

B) Multiply successively by 0.70

C)    1,500(0.7)^t: see the tests below

Explanation:

<em>A) Find the missing values for the table shown</em>

Although the table was not provided with the question, you can create a complete table from the supplied information.

Table: value of the sofa

Year     Value

   0        $1,500

   1             A

   2            B

   3            C

   4            D

Then, determine the missing values, i.e. A, B, C, and D

Notice that 30% is 0.30 and a reduction in the value is determined by mutiplying the starting value by 1 - 0.3 = 0.7.

  • A = $1,500 × 0.7 = $1,050.00
  • B = $1,050 × 0.7 = $735.00
  • C = $735 × 0.7 = $514.50
  • D = $514.50 × 0.7 = $360.15

Thus, once completed the table would be:

Year       Value

   0         $1,500

   1         $1,050

   2        $735

   3        $514.50

   4        $360.15

<em>B. Explain how you found each of the missing values in the table.</em>

I multiplied successively by 0.70 which is the constant decaying rate of the function.

<em>C. Write an expression in the form </em>a(b)^t<em> that represents the value of the sofa in dollars t years after Carlos purchased it. Then test your expression for t = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.</em>

  • a is the purchasing value of the sofa or the value when t = 0: 1,500
  • b is the decaying rate: 1 - 30% = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

Thus, the expression is:

  • 1,500(0.7)^t

Test it for t = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4:

  • 1,500(0.7)⁰ = 1,500(1) = 1,500   \checkmark

  • 1,500(0.7)¹ = 1500(0.7) = 1,050  \checkmark

  • 1,500(0.7)² = 1,500(0.49) = 735  \checkmark

  • 1,500(0.7)³ = 1500(0.343) = 514.5  \checkmark

  • 1,500(0.7)⁴ = 1,500(0.2401) = 360.15  \checkmark
