The given sequence is
1, -2, 4, -8, ...., 
Multiply the 1st term by -2 to obtain     1*(-2) = -2   (the 2nd term)
Multiply the 2nd term by -2 to obtain -2*(-2) = 4    (the 3rd term)
Multiply the 3rd term by -2 to obtain  -2*(4) = -8  (the 4th term)
Answer:
Anet is incorrect.
This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -2.

Initial size = 24 (This is the 1st term in the sequence)
2nd term = 24 +5 = 24 + (2-1)*5
3rd term =  24 + 5 + 5 = 24 +(3-1)*5
By induction, the n-th term is
A(n) = 24 + (n-1)*5
Answer:
The given formula is correct.

If you get $2,000 for graduation gifts and invest it in an account that earns 1.5% interest
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

It is VERY important to use the attached formula.

Years = ln (Total / Principal) / rate

Years = ln (6,000 / 2,000) / rate

Years = ln (3) / rate

Years = 1.0986122887 / .015

Years = 73.24 years

This takes a LONG time because the interest rate is extremely low.

What are the end points of the triangle called? How are they labeled?
horrorfan [7]

For this case we have that by definition:

A triangle is defined by three lines that are called sides, or by three points called vertices.

We know that:

  1. <em>The vertices of a triangle are labeled with capital letters. </em>
  2. <em>The sides of a triangle are written with lowercase letters. </em>
  3. <em>The angles of a triangle are written similarly to the vertices. </em>

Answer:

The end points of the triangle are called vertices.

They are labeled in capital letters.
