These are the first six terms of a sequence with a = 2:
1 answer:
Answer:
= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Note there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms of the sequence, that is
r = 18 ÷ 2 = 162 ÷ 18 = 1458 ÷ 162 = 13122 ÷ 1458 = 9
A recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by multiplying the previous term by the common ratio, that is
= 9
with a₁ = 2

The expression in company B represents that is is in arithmetic progression where first term is 42000 and common difference is 1800 . So we have to use the formula of sum of n terms which is
Where a is the first term, n is the nth term, d is the common difference
On substituting there values,we will get
= 15(84000+52200) = 15*136200 =2043000
And for company A, it is
Difference between them =2043000-2002500= 40500
So the correct option is the second option .
