Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

a_{4}=14

Each term of the sequence is 8 less than the previous term

⇒ a_{3}=14+8=22

⇒ a_{2}=22+8=30

⇒ a_{1}=30+8=38

In general a_{n}=a_{n-1}-8,a_{1}=38

Hence, recursive formula representing the situation is:

a_{n}=a_{n-1}-8,a_{1}=38

So

an=an+b

14=4a+b and a=-8

14=-32+b

b= 46

an=-8n+46

You want to put $2,500 in a simple interest account.It has a 4% annual interest rate.How long will it take you to earn $200 in i
prohojiy [21]
It will take 2 years.

Year 1 :
4% 2.5k = 2.5k/100 × 4 = $100 in interest

$2.5k + $0.1k = $2.6k

Year 2 :
4% 2.6k = 2.6k/100 × 4 = $104 in interest

$100 + $104 = $204 > $200

There may be a simpler way to solve this using a formula for example, but I just solved this step by step. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions
