Answer:

Cost of a coffee is <u>$2.5</u> and cost of a latte is <u>$4.25.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of 1 coffee be 'c' and cost of 1 latte be 'l' dollars.

Given:

4 coffees and 12 lattes cost $61.

12 coffees and 7 lattes cost $59.75.

∵ 1 coffee cost = c

∴ 4 coffees cost = 4c and 12 coffee cost = 12c

∵ 1 latte cost = l

∴ 12 lattes cost = 12l and 7 lattes cost = 7l

Now, as per question:

4c+12l=61-----1\\12c+7l=59.75----2

Now, multiplying equation (1) by -3 and adding the result to equation (2). This gives,

-3(4c+12l)=-3(61)\\\\-12c-36l=-183\\12c+7l=59.75\\+\\----------\\0-29l=-123.25\\\\l=\frac{-123.25}{-29}=\$4.25

Now, plug in the value of 'l' in equation 1 to solve for 'c'. This gives,

4c+12(4.25)=61\\\\4c+51=61\\\\4c=61-51\\\\4c=10\\\\c=\frac{10}{4}=\$2.5

Therefore, cost of a coffee is $2.5 and cost of a latte is $4.25.

What is the formula for the following geometric sequence?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Correct answer:  Third answer  aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-5, -10, -20, -40,.....

First term       a₁ = -5

Second term a₂ = -10

Third term     a₃ = -20

Common ratio or quotient

q = a₂ / a₁ = a₃ / a₂ = -10 / -5 = -20 / -10 = 2

q = 2

First term  a₁

Second term a₂ = a₁ · q = a₂ · q²

Third term     a₃ = a₂ · q = a₁ · q³

.....................................................

n-th term aₙ = a₁ · q⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

The sequence an = 8, 13, 18, 23, ... is the same as the sequence a1 = 8, an = an-1 + 5.
harkovskaia [24]
Actually, this answer would be true. Why?

 The first equation is: a(sub <em>n</em>) = 8, 13, 18, 23

The second is: a(sub 1)=8 ; a(sub <em>n</em>)= a(sub <em>n</em>-1)+5
if you wish to find the second term, plug two into the equation for <em /><em>n</em> 
8+5=13
to find the third, plug the second term, 13, in for <em>n.</em> 
13+5=18.

Hope this helped! I know it's a bit on the late side, but at least you can get the general idea!
