Hello! So to find the number of seconds it take for light to reach Earth, all you have to do is divide the distance from earn by the distance light travels per second. 93,000,000/186,282 is 499.2430831 or 499.25 seconds when rounded to the nearest hundredth. It takes about 499.25 seconds for light to reach the Earth.

If 6 is added to x, the result is 17. Find the value of x.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we need to do opposite operations.

x+6=17

Subtract 6 from both sides, since subtraction is the opposite of addition, thus cancelling the 6 out.

x+6=17

 -6   -6

x=11

So x is 11.

What is the value of the fourth term in a geometric sequence for which a1=30 and r=1/2
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

a(4) = 15/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for a geometric series with common ratio r and first term a(1) is

a(n) = a(1)*r^(n - 1)

and so, if a(1) = 30 and r = 1/2, we have

a(n) = 30*(1/2)^(n - 1)

and the fourth term is then:

a(4) = 30*(1/2)^(4 - 1) = 30/8 = 15/4

The accumulated (future) value is given by the formula
F=P(1+i)^n
where 
P=amount of deposit (made at the beginning of the first period)
i=monthly interest, APR/12 = 3%/12 =0.0025
n=number of periods (month)

For example, the future value for the 6th month is
F(6)=1000(1.0025^6)=1015.09  (to the nearest cent)

Here is a schedule of the values,
i=month
F(i) = value at the end of month i.

  i   F(i)
 0  1000.0 
 1  1002.5 
 2  1005.01
 3  1007.52
 4  1010.04
 5  1012.56
 6  1015.09
 7  1017.63
 8  1020.18
 9  1022.73
10 1025.28
11 1027.85
12 1030.42 + $50 deposit = 1050.42
All values are rounded to the nearest cent.
