We know that
an=[a(n-1)]*2+3
if a7=125 
a) Find a1

step 1
find a6
a7=a6*2+3--------> a6=(a7-3)/2-----> a6=(125-3)/2----> a6=61

step 2
find a5
a6=a5*2+3--------> a5=(a6-3)/2-----> a5=(61-3)/2----> a5=29

step 3
find a4
a5=a4*2+3--------> a4=(a5-3)/2-----> a4=(29-3)/2----> a4=13

step 4
find a3
a4=a3*2+3--------> a3=(a4-3)/2-----> a3=(13-3)/2----> a3=5

step 5
find a2
a3=a2*2+3--------> a2=(a3-3)/2-----> a2=(5-3)/2----> a2=1

step 6
find a1
a2=a1*2+3--------> a1=(a2-3)/2-----> a1=(1-3)/2----> a1=-1

the answer is
a1=-1

The formula for simple interest is I=Prt.
sineoko [7]

a. The formula solved for t is t = I/Pr

b. The value of t in the table is 3 years

<h3>Simple Interest</h3>

From the question, we are to solve for t in the given formula

The given formula is the formula for simple interest

I = Prt

To solve for t, we will divide both sides of the equation by Pr

That is,

I/Pr = Prt/Pr

I/Pr = t

∴ t = I/Pr

The formula solved for t is t = I/Pr

b. We are to find the value of t when

I = $75

P = $500

r = 5% = 0.05

From

t = I/Pr

t = 75/(500×0.05)

t = 75/25

t = 3 years

Hence, the value of t in the table is 3 years
