Answer:

a₈ = -  1 / 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

First four terms of the sequence

a₁= 1, a₂= - 1/2, a₃= 1/4 and a₄= -1/8

First we recognize that this is a geometric series (sequence) and we must calculate quotient q.

q = a₂/a₁ = a₃/a₂ = (-1/2)/1 = (1/4)/(-1/2) = - 1/2

q = - 1/2

Formula for calculating n-th term is:

aₙ = a₁ · qⁿ⁻¹

According to this:

a₈ = 1  (-1/2)⁷ = - 1/ 128

A specimen of charcoal found at Stonehenge contains 63% as much Carbon-14 as a sample of present-day charcoal. What is the age o
seraphim [82]
Since we are given with the identity of the chemical as Carbon-14, we obtain the half-life of the chemical from a reliable source and get a value of 5730 years. The equation that we are going to use for this item is,
                              A(t)/A(0) = (0.50)^(n/5730)
where A(t) is the current amount, A(0) is the initial amount and n is the number of years. We know from the given that the ratio of A(t) and A(0) is equal to 0.63. Substituting this to the given,
                                0.63 = 0.50^(n/5730)
                                        n = 3819.48 
Thus, the sample is approximately 3819.5 years old.

mart [117]
154.35 - 10.37 = 143.98
143.98 - 27.83 = 116.15
10.37 = 116.15x
x = 0.0893

Change x to percent form to get 8.93% tax rate.
