Answer:

<u>The 15th term is 25/16'777,216</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Aₙ = Aₙ₋₁ ÷ 4; A₁ = 400

A₂ = A₁ ÷ 4 = 400  ÷ 4 = 100

A₃ = A₂÷ 4 = 100  ÷ 4 = 25

A₄ = A₃ ÷ 4 = 25  ÷ 4 = 25/4

A₅ = A₄÷ 4 = 25/4  ÷ 4 = 25/4 * 1/4 = 25/16

A₆ = A₅÷ 4 = 25/16  ÷ 4 = 25/16 * 1/4 = 25/64

A₇ = A₆÷ 4 = 25/64  ÷ 4 = 25/64 * 1/4 = 25/256

A₈ = A₇ ÷ 4 = 25/256  ÷ 4 = 25/256 * 1/4 = 25/1,024

A₉ = A₈÷ 4 = 25/1,024  ÷ 4 = 25/1,024 * 1/4 = 25/4,096

A₁₀ = A₉÷ 4 = 25/4,096  ÷ 4 = 25/4,096 * 1/4 = 25/16,384

A₁₁ = A₁₀ ÷ 4 = 25/16,384  ÷ 4 = 25/16,384 * 1/4 = 25/65,536

A₁₂ = A₁₁ ÷ 4 = 25/65,536  ÷ 4 = 25/65,536 * 1/4 = 25/262,144

A₁₃ = A₁₂ ÷ 4 = 25/262,144  ÷ 4 = 25/262,144 * 1/4 = 25/1'048,576

A₁₄ = A₁₃ ÷ 4 = 25/1'048,576  ÷ 4 = 25/1'048,576 * 1/4 = 25/4'194,304

A₁₅ = A₁₄ ÷ 4 = 25/4'194,304  ÷ 4 = 25/4'194,304 * 1/4 = 25/16'777,216

<u>The 15th term is 25/16'777,216</u>

The sum of x and 8 is less than 72​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

x<84

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write an inequality. We know it is not an equation because of the words "less than". Also, x and 8 are being added because of the word "and". Here's the inequality: x+8 < 72. Now, subtract 8 on both sides so x is isolated. Our simplified inequality looks like this: x < 84.

Micah needs $18,500 to purchase a boat. How much money will he need to invest today in a savings account earning 3.2% interest,
charle [14.2K]
We have that every quarter, he will get an 0.8% interest rate. We also have that there will be 14*4=56 periods of repayment. We have that by the formula, if there are n periods and x% is the interest rate, the capital is multiplied by (100+x%)^n.
Suppose Micah invests x money. Then, we have that after 14 years, the capital available will be C=x*(1.008)^{56}=x*1.562. We have that C=18500$ and hence that 18500=x*1.562. Thus, solving for x we have that x=11841$.
Micah will need to invest only 11841$ in order to pay for his boat; this shows the importance of saving since he earns a lot of money, around 7k $.

If f(x)=1/9x-2, what is f-1(x)
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
To find the inverse of f(x), you solve for the independent variable, x, and then swap the variable labels.  The reason for doing so is easily seen if one remembers what an inverse function really is.  The inverse function will produce the opposite coordinate as the parent function.  If f(x)=(x,y), f^-1(x)=(y,x), so the inverse function simply creates the inverse of all of the points that exist for f(x)...with that out of the way, let y=f(x), then:

y=1/(9x-2)  (I am trying to decipher what you actually meant to type)

Multiply both sides by (9x-2)

y(9x-2)=1  divide both sides by y

9x-2=1/y  add 2 to both sides

9x=1/y+2  which is equal to

9x=(1+2y)/y  divide both sides by 9

x=(1+2y)/(9y)  now switch labels...

y=(1+2x)/(9x)

f^-1(x)=(1+2x)/(9x)

Again, I am not sure that I understood what you meant to type for the equation... strictly as typed you actually have:

y=x/9-2  which can be written as:

y=(x-18)/9  multiply both sides by 9

9y=x-18  add 18 to both sides

9y+18=x then switch labels

y=9x+18

f^-1(x)=9x+18

The denominator must be made clear in this format by using () brackets, otherwise it is anyone's guess...
