I beileive he inherited 1,176.45 i tried to put my work on here but i couldnt find a way that it would make sense
46% is equal to 14/25
14/25 is equal to 46/100 (multiply 14/25 times 4/4) and that is 46%
Answer: Choice A
S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)
===============================================
The formula is
Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)
where
Sn = sum of the first n terms (nth partial sum)
n = number of terms
a1 = first term
an = nth term
In this case,
n = 9
a1 = 2 (plug in n = 1 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)
an = a9 = 26 (plug n = 9 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)
So,
Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)
S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)
will help us find the sum of the first 9 terms of this arithmetic sequence
Using logarithms property of log(x)+log(y)=log(xy)
so here, you can sum the equation to;

so you can simply say that;

and by multiplying (x+6)*(x-6)

and as you know also that;

is same as

so you can simply state it as;

And you can check your work by substituting with 10 instead of x in the original function.
Hope this helps!
