Nadir saves $1 the first day of a month, $2 the second day, $4 the third day, and so on. He continues to double his savings each

zheka24 [161]

ANSWER

$16,384

EXPLANATION

From the question we have that,

Nadir saves $1 the first day of a month, $2 the second day, $4 the third day, and so on.

This forms a geometric sequence,

$1,2,4,...$

The first term of this sequence is

$a = 1$

The common ratio is

$r = \frac{2}{1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$

The general term of a geometric sequence is given by the formula:

$f(n) = a {r}^{n - 1}$

To find the 15th term, we plug in a=1, r=2 and n=15.

$f(15) = 1 {(2)}^{15 - 1}$

$f(15) = {2}^{14}$

$f(15) = 16384$

The amount he will save on the 15th day is $16,384

Suppose y = 48 + 3(2n - 1) is an explicit representation of an arithmetic sequence for integer values n ≥ 1. Find the xth partia

omeli [17]

$a_n=48+3(2n-1)$

The formula of the sum of the arithmetic sequence:
$S_n=\dfrac{a_1+a__n}{2}\cdot n$
calculate:
$a_1=48+3(2\cdot1-1)=48+3=51$
substitute
$S_n=\dfrac{51+48+3(2n-1)}{2}\cdot n=\dfrac{99+6n-3}{2}\cdot n=\dfrac{96+6n}{2}\cdot n=3n^2+48n$
Your answer is:
$\boxed{f(x)=3x^2+48x}$
