Answer:

The first step is subtracting 6.4 on both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is subtracting 6.4 on both sides.

<em>3.5n + 6.4=42.5</em>

<em>3.5n = 36.1</em>

<em>n = 10.31 rounded.</em>

Answer:

For the sequence is $-\frac{2}{3}$ ,-4 ,-24 ,-144 ,...

Hence the formula $f(x)=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,... represents the given geometric sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is $-\frac{2}{3}$ ,-4 ,-24 ,-144 ,...

To find the formula to describe the given sequence :

Let $a_1=\frac{-2}{3}$ , $a_2=-4$ , $a_3=-24$ ,...

First find the common ratio

$r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}$ here $a_1=\frac{-2}{3}$ and, $a_2=-4$

$=\frac{-4}{\frac{-2}{3}}$

$=\frac{4\times 3}{2}$

$=\frac{12}{2}$

$r=6$

$r=\frac{a_3}{a_2}$ here $a_2=-4$ and $a_3=-24$

$=\frac{-24}{-4}$

$=6$

$r=6$

Therefore the common ratio is 6

Therefore the given sequence is geometric sequence

The nth term of the geometric sequence is

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

The formula which describes the given geometric sequence is

$f(x)=a_1r^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,...

$=\frac{-2}{3}6^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,...

Now verify that $f(x)=a_1r^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,... represents the given geometric sequence or not

put x=1 and the value of $a_1$ in $f(x)=a_1r^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,...

we get $f(1)=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^{1-1}$

$=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^0$

$=-\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore $f(1)=-\frac{2}{3}$

put x=2 we get $f(2)=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^{2-1}$

$=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^1$

$=-\frac{12}{3}$

Therefore $f(2)=-4$

put x=3 we get $f(3)=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^{3-1}$

$=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^2$

$=-\frac{2(36)}{3}$

Therefore $f(3)=-24$

Therefore the sequence is f(1),f(2),f(3),...

Therefore the sequence is $-\frac{2}{3}$ ,-4 ,-24 ,-144 ,...

Hence the formula $f(x)=a_1r^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,... represents the given geometric sequence is verified

Therefore the formula $f(x)=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,... represents the given geometric sequence

If Free Yer Assets Bank (FYAB) will give you 0.25% compounded quarterly and I.M.A.Q.T.π bank will give you 0.23% interest compou

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

FYAB gives a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

$A = P(1 + \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Continuously compounded interest:

$A = Pe^{rt}$

For the quarterly compounded interest, r = 0.25%, and n = 4.

$2P = P(1 + \dfrac{0.0025}{4})^{4t}$

$1.000625^{4t} = 2$

$\log (1.000625^{4t}) = \log 2$

$4t(\log 1.000625) = \log 2$

$t = \dfrac{\log 2}{4\log 1.000625}$

$t = 277$

For the continuously compounded interest, r =0.23%

$A = Pe^{rt}$

$2P = Pe^{0.0023t}$

$2 = e^{0.0023t}$

$\ln 2 = \ln e^{0.0023t}$

$\ln 2 = 0.0023t$

$t = \dfrac {\ln 2}{0.0023}$

$t = 301$

The quarterly compounded doubles in 277 years.

The continuously compounded doubles in 301 years.
