to pay back 1.1 times the amount he paid the month before. Explain to John how to represent his first 20 payments in sequence notation. Then explain how to find the sum of his first 20 payments, using complete sentences.

<span>Let a_0 = 100, the first payment. Every subsequent payment is the prior payment, times 1.1. In order to represent that, let a_n be the term in question. The term before it is a_n-1. So a_n = 1.1 * a_n-1. This means that a_19 = 1.1*a_18, a_18 = 1.1*a_17, etc. To find the sum of your first 20 payments, this sum is equal to a_0+a_1+a_2+...+a_19. a_1 = 1.1*a_0, so a_2 = 1.1*(1.1*a_0) = (1.1)^2 * a_0, a_3 = 1.1*a_2 = (1.1)^3*a_3, and so on. So the sum can be reduced to S = a_0 * (1+ 1.1 + 1.1^2 + 1.1^3 + ... + 1.1^19) which is approximately $5727.50</span>

The figure below shows a shaded rectangular region inside a large rectangle: (pic)
mariarad [96]

Answer:

D


Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of falling NOT in the shaded region is "area of white region" <em>divided by</em> "area of whole rectangle (big one)".


<u>Area of whole rectangle:</u>

Area of rectangle = length * width = 10 * 5 = 50


<u>Area of White Region:</u>

First, area of shaded region = length * width = 4 * 2 = 8

Now,

Area of white region = area of whole rectangle - area of shaded rectangle

Area of white region = 50 - 8 = 42


Hence, probability is \frac{42}{50}=0.84

0.84 = 84%

Answer choice D is right.

Can someone please help me with math
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

they want us to find the equation in slope intercept form

which is y= mx + b

where m = slope and b = y intercept

the slope is change in y over change in x

as y goes up 1 x goes up 1 so the slope is 1 or m=1

the y intercept is at point (0,1)

so the y intercept is 1

now we add it all together and get that the equation Is

y=x+1

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

See the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function f(x) = x² + 2x - 5

Zeros :

If f(x) = 0 i.e. x² + 2x - 5 = 0

The left hand side can not be factorized. Hence, use Sridhar Acharya formula and  

x= \frac{-2+\sqrt{2^{2}-4\times(-5)\times1 } }{2} and  

x= \frac{-2-\sqrt{2^{2}-4\times(-5)\times1 } }{2}

⇒ x = -3.45 and 1.45

Y- intercept :

Putting x = 0, we get, f(x) = - 5, Hence, y-intercept is -5.

Maximum point :

Not defined

Minimum point:  

The equation can be expressed as (x + 1)² = (y + 5)

This is an equation of parabola having the vertex at (-1,-5) and axis parallel to + y-axis

Therefore, the minimum point is (-1,-5)

Domain :  

x can be any real number

Range:  

f(x) ≥ - 6

Interval of increase:

Since this is a parabola having the vertex at (-1,-5) and axis parallel to + y-axis.

Therefore, interval of increase is +∞ > x > -1

Interval of decrease:

-∞ < x < -1

End behavior :  

f(x) = x^{2} +2x-5 =x^{2}  (1+\frac{2}{x} -\frac{5}{x^{2} } )

So, as x tends to +∞ , then f(x) tends to +∞

And as x tends to -∞, then f(x) tends to +∞. (Answer)
