Part 1: Create a scenario for an arithmetic sequence. For example, Jasmine practices the piano for ______ minutes on Monday. Eve

ry day she ___________ her practice time by _________.
If she continues this pattern, how many minutes will she practice on the 7th day? Be sure to fill in the blanks with the words that will create an arithmetic sequence.

Use your scenario to write the function for the 7th term in your sequence using sequence notation.

Part 2: Create a scenario for a geometric sequence. For example, Anthony goes to the gym for ______ minutes on Monday. Every day he _________his gym time by ____________.

If he continues this pattern, how many minutes will he spend at the gym on the 5th day? Be sure to fill in the blanks with the words that will create a geometric sequence.

Use your scenario to write the formula for the 5th term in your sequence using sequence notation.

Part 3: Use your scenario from part 2 to write a question that will lead to using the geometric series formula. Use the formula to solve for Sn in your scenario.

Let a_n be the n'th term of a sequence, 

for example a_1 is the first term, a_2 is the second term and so on.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a sequence is arithmetic if the difference between any 2 terms is equal:

so an arithmetic sequence, for the first term = t, and the common difference = d, has the following form:

a_1=t

a_2=t+d

a_3=t+d+d

a_4=t+d+d+d

so clearly a_n=t+d*(n-1)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A sequence is geometric, if the ratio between any 2 consecutive terms is the same, and it is called the common ratio.

a geometric ratio with first term = t, and common ratio = r is:

a_1=t

a_2=t*r

a_3=t*r*r

a_4=t*r*r*r

thus clearly a_n=t* r^{n-1}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 1:

"<span>Jasmine practices the piano for  __30___ minutes on Monday. Every day she ____increases_______ her practice time by ____5 minutes_____. </span>"


let a_n be the number of hours Jasmine practices the n'th day, 

for n=7, t=30, d=5 we have

a_7=30+5*(7-1)=30+5*6=30+30=60,
 
minutes is the time Jasmine practices on the 7the day.


Part 2

 "<span>Anthony goes to the gym for ___60___ minutes on Monday. Every day he ___increases______his gym time by ____1/10_of the previous day_____. </span>"

if S_n represents the minutes that Anthony goes to gym on the n'th day, 

then

S_1=60

S_2=60+1/10*60=10/10*60+1/10*60=11/10*60=1.1*60

S_3=1.1*1.1*60

S_4=1.1*1.1*1.1*60

S_5=1.1*1.1*1.1*1.1*60= (1.1)^{4}*60= 1.4641*60=87.85
 (minutes)

Part 3: it is clear that the formula that can be derived in Part 2 is:

S_n=60*(1.1)^{n-1}

so assume we want to find how many hours does Anthony spend in the gym on the 10th day,

then we calculate S_10=60*(1.1)^{9}=60*2.358=141.5  (minutes)

salantis [7]

Answer:

$966

Step-by-step explanation:

6/7 =  828/x

Write a proportion.

6x = 7(828) Use cross products.

6x = 5796 Multiply.

x = 966 Divide both sides by 6.

Paul's investment was $966.

There are six households in a rural community. Each household earns $40,000 per year. Suppose that a new resident builds a mansi
dusya [7]

Answer:

Median income has not changed

Mean income has increased

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial number of houses = 6

Earning per household = $40,000

The initial mean :

$(40,000 * 6) / 6 = $40000

Initial median :

40000, 40000, 40000, 40000, 40000, 40000

= 1/2(n+1)th term,

Median = 40000

A 7th household earns 4,000,000

Mean = ((40000*6) + 4,000,000) / 7 = $605,714

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term

40000, 40000, 40000, 40000, 40000, 40000, 4000000

Median = 4th term = 40000
