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}

Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 116 (and please have steps) thank you
matrenka [14]
It's 57 and 59
Call (n) is the first odd interger => the second odd interger is (n+2)
=> n + (n + 2) = 116 
=> n + n + 2 = 116 
=> 2n = 114 
=> n = 57 
First odd interger is 57 and the second odd interger is 59 .

Let f(x) = 4x + 3
docker41 [41]

Answer: f(x) = 4x + 3

g(x) = -2x + 5

(f · g)(5) = (4(5) + 3)(-2(5) + 5)

(f · g)(5) = (20 + 3)(-10 + 5)

(f · g)(5) = (23)(-5)

(f · g)(5) = -115

the perimeter of a standard-sized rectangular rug is 84 ft the length is 22 ft longer than the width find the dimensions​
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The length would be 32 and the width would be 10

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purpose of this, we'll set the width as x. We can then define the length as x + 22 since we know it is 22 ft longer than the width. Now we can use those along with the perimeter formula to solve for the width.

P = 2l + 2w

84 = 2(x + 22) + 2(x)

84 = 2x + 44 + 2x

84 = 4x + 44

40 = 4x

10 = x

Now since we know that the width is 10ft, we can add 22ft to it to get the length, which would be 32ft.
