How to find missing terms in a arithmetic sequence if there is no middle term?

Mathematics

kozerog [31]3 years ago

You would use the formula for the specific term you wish to find;
The formula is:
U_{n} = a + (n - 1)d
a = starting value of the sequence
d = the common difference (i.e. the difference between any two consecutive terms of the sequence)
n = the value corresponding to the position of the desired term in the sequence (i.e. 1 is the first term, 2 is the second, etc.)
Un = the actual vaue of the the term

For example, if we have the arithmetic sequence:
2, 6, 10, 14, ...
And let's say we want to find the 62nd term;
Then:
a = 2
d = 4
(i.e. 6 - 2 = 4, 10 - 6 = 4, 14 - 10 = 4;
You should always get the same number no matter which two terms you find the difference between so long as they are both consecutive [next to each other], otherwise you are not dealing with an arithmetic sequence)
n = 62

And so:
U_{62} = (2) + (62 - 1)(4) \\
= 2 + 61(4) \\
= 2 + 244 \\
= 246

how many 5 card poker hands consisting of 2 aces and 3 kings are possible with an ordinary 52 card deck
Mashcka [7]
2 aces can be selected from 4 aces by 4C2 = 4!/2!(4 - 2)! =4!/ (2! x 2!) = (4 x 3 x 2 x 1)/(2 x 1 x 2 x 1) = 6 ways
3 kings can be selected from 4 kings by 4C3 = 4!/3!(4 - 3)! =4!/ (3! x 1!) = (4 x 3 x 2 x 1)/(3 x 2 x 1 x 1) = 4 ways

Therefore, the number of <span>5 card poker hands consisting of 2 aces and 3 kings possible with an ordinary 52 card deck is 6 x 4 = 24</span>

Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next 9 years because the
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The current stock price is $65.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The company will then pay a dividend of $15.75 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 5 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 13 percent,

Therefore, the value of next dividend is $15.75, and it will increase with the rate of 5% i.e growth rate = 5% = 0.05

The required rate is 13% = 0.13

Now calculate the stock price for the next 9 yr as shown:

P_9=\frac{\text{Next dividend}}{\text{Required rate-Growth rate}}

P_9=\frac{\$15.75}{0.13-0.05}

P_9=\frac{\$15.75}{0.08}

P_9=\$196.875

Now calculate the current stock price as shown:

P_0=\frac{P_9}{(1+\text{Required rate of return})^9}

P_0=\frac{\$196.875}{(1+0.13)^9}

P_0=\frac{\$196.875}{(1.13)^9}=$65.54

Therefore, the current stock price is $65.54
