Compute successive differences of the terms.
If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.
If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.
Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.
Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.
<span>It costs 19.48, because $16,421.40 / 843 comes out to 19.479, and 19.479 rounds to 19.48. So the answer is B $19.48</span>
Answer:
#a. $80
#b. $1680
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
- Amount invested (principal) is $1600
- Rate of interest is 5%
- Time = 1 year
We are required to determine the amount of simple interest earned and the amount or balance in the account after 1 year.
#a. Interest earned
To calculate simple interest we use the formula;
I = (PRT) ÷ 100
Where, P is the principal, R is the rate, T is the time and I is the simple interest.
Therefore;
I = (1600 × 5 × 1) ÷ 100
= $80
Therefore, simple interest earned is $80
#b. Balance of the account (Amount accrued)
We are going to use the formula;
A = P + I , where A is the amount accrued, P is the principal and I is the simple interest earned.
Therefore;
Account balance = $1600 + $80
= $1680
Thus, the account balance after 1 year will be $1680
Answer:
2/16
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
8/1=8
2/16=0.125 which is equal to 1/8
2/14=1/7
1/8=1/8 is 2/16 simplified so they are the same
14/2=7
John exercised 20% more than Toby. So the number of hours that John exercises per week is 14 + 0.2(14) = 14 + 2.8 = 16.8.
Jenny exercises two more hours than John. So the number of hours that Jenny exercises per week is 16.8 + 2 = 18.8.
So an expression representing the number of hours that Jenny exercises after w weeks is 18.8w.
