What is the equation that represents the sequence in this problem ? Find the price after the 8th month

ANSWER

\begin{gathered} a_n=ar^{n\text{ - 1}} \\ a_8\text{ = \$38.26} \end{gathered}

EXPLANATION

The problem represents a geometric progression.

The general form of a geometric sequence is:

a_n=ar^{n\text{ - 1}}

where a = first term

r = common ratio

The first term from the table is the first price (for the first month). That is $80.00

To find the common ratio, we divide a term by its preceeding term.

Let us divide the price of the second month from the first.

We have:

\begin{gathered} r\text{ = }\frac{72}{80} \\ r\text{ = 0.9} \end{gathered}

The price after the 8th month is the value of a(n) when n = 8

So, we have that:

\begin{gathered} a_8\text{ = 80 }\cdot0.9^{(8\text{ - 1)}} \\ a_8\text{ = 80 }\cdot0.9^7 \\ a_8\text{ = \$38.26} \end{gathered}

Answer:

The length of the line segment is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call the given two points: (x₁, y₁) = (2, -3) and (x₂, y₂) = (8, 5).

The distance between two points, d = $ \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2} } $

Here, $ (x_1, y_1) = (2, -3) $ and

$ (x_2, y_2) = (8, 5) $

Therefore, distance, d = $ \sqrt{(8 - 2)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2 $

$ = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} $

$ = \sqrt{36 + 64} $

$ = \sqrt{100} $

= 10 units.

Hence, the answer.

Suppose you had D dollars in your bank account. you spent $22 but have at least $28 left. how much money did you have initially?
nalin [4]

Answer:

Answer:

d--22→ 28

d→ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d dollars be the initial amount in your bank account.

We have been given that you spent $22, so the amount left after spending $22 will be: .

We are also told that after spending $22, you have at least $28. This means that the amount left after spending $22 will be greater than or equal to $28.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

Therefore, the inequality represents the initial amount of money you had.

Now let us solve for d by adding 22 to both sides of our inequality.

Therefore, initially you had at least $50.
