a_n_+_1=-4a_n_+_2

dividing both sides by -4, we get:

a_n_+_2=- \frac{a_n_+_1}{4}

this means, each term is its previous term divided by -4.

now we can construct the sequence as follows:

a_1=2

a_2=- \frac{a_1}{4}= - \frac{2}{4}= -\frac{1}{2}

a_3=- \frac{a_2}{4} =- \frac{ \frac{1}{2} }{4}=- \frac{1}{8}

a_4=- \frac{a_3}{4}=- \frac{ \frac{1}{8} }{4}=- \frac{1}{32}



Answer: the last term is -1/32

Solve the system of linear equations by adding or subtracting. Show all work!
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

x = -2, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Your goal is to try and cancel out a variable. I want to get rid of y so i subtracted the first equation from the second one.

After that I solve for x and got x=-2.

I used x=-2 and plugged it back into either of the equation to solve for y.

you deposit 1000 in savings account that earns .5% each month assuming you do not deposit or withdraw any money from the account
ikadub [295]

Answer:

$1015.11

Step-by-step explanation:

Compounded interest rate formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^t

Step 1: Plug in known variables

A = 1000(1 + 0.005/12)^36

Step 2: Multiply it all together

1000(1.00042)^36

1000(1.01511)

1015.11

This is a pretty bad bank considering only giving you .5% interest per month.
