PART A
The geometric sequence is defined by the equation

To find the first three terms, we put n=1,2,3
When n=1,



When n=2,



When n=3



The first three terms are,

PART B
The common ratio can be found using any two consecutive terms.
The common ratio is given by,



PART C
To find

We substitute n=11 into the equation of the geometric sequence.

This implies that,


1.86·10 to the 13th power
Answer:
v=37 degrees; u=53 degrees
208c + 52v = 5460
v = c + 10
where c = the price for a car rental and v = the price for a van rental.
To solve this system, use substitution; the second equation says v is equal to c + 10, so plug in "c + 10" for v in the first equation and solve for c:
208c + 52(c + 10) = 5460
208c + 52c + 520 = 5460
260c + 520 = 5460
260c = 4940
c = 19
Now that we have c, we can plug it in to the second equation to find v:
v = (19) + 10
v = 29
So, c = 19 and v = 29, meaning that
The cost of a car rental is $19 and the cost of a van rental is $29.
