Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

an = a1r^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the given sequence,

a1 = - 5

r = 15/- 5 = - 3

Therefore, the explicit rule for this sequence is

an = - 5(- 3)^n - 1

A real estate sales agent receives a salary of $250 per week plus a commission of 2% of sales.Write an equation that gives the w

lisabon 2012 [21]

The equation y=0.02x+250 gives the weekly income y in terms of sales x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Weekly salary of real estate agent = $250

Commission rate = 2%

Let,

x be the sales per week.

y be the total weekly income.

Amount of commission = 2% of sales per week

Amount of commission = $\frac{2}{100}*x$

Amount of commission = 0.02x

Total weekly income = Amount of commission + Weekly salary

$y=0.02x+250$

The equation y=0.02x+250 gives the weekly income y in terms of sales x.
