Answer:

an = 2/5 * (5) ^ (n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is 5

(That is the number we multiply by)

The formula is

an = a1 (r) ^ (n-1)

an = 2/5 * (5) ^ (n-1)

Answer:

$a_n= \frac{2}{5} (5)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive rule for a geometric sequence is given.

a1= 2/5; an= $5a^{n-1}$

a1 is the first term = 2/5

USe the recirsive rule. compare an= $ra^{n-1}$ , where 'r' is the common ratio with the given recursive formula

r= 5, common ratio is 5

General explicit rule

$a_n= a_1(r)^{n-1}$

a1=2/5 and r= 5

So explicit rule becomes

$a_n= \frac{2}{5} (5)^{n-1}$

Max has a monthly salary of $1,100 and also earns 7.5% commission on his sales. If Max had $43,000 in sales last month, what wer

zavuch27 [327]

If he makes a base salary of 1100$, then Max's total salary is 1100+<some number>. That <some number> is the amount he makes in commissions, which is 7.5% (or 0.075 by moving the decimal 2 spots to the left). Multiplying 43000 by 0.075 to get his commision money, we get 3225. Remember that we still have to add 1100 to it (as that's his base salary), so we end up with
1100+3225=4325

What is the surface area of the cube with the given edge length, s?

iren [92.7K]

A cube has 6 sides.
first calculate the area of 1 side and then multiply it by 6

the area for one side = S^2 ( or SxS)

15^2 = 15 x 15 = 225 square inches

now multiply that by 6:
225 x 6 = 1350 square inches total

the answer is B.
