Answer:
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.
A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.
B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.

The equation of the graph is given as y = (2/5)x - 5.
You have to figure out which of the choices equals the equation given,
y = (2/5)x - 5.
You could solve each of the answer choices for y, but since each choice is in the format x - (m)y = b, you can put the given equation in that format too.
y = -13, 13
There are two answers because you are taking the square root of a number. If we go the other way, to check our work, (-13)^2 = 169 and (13)^2 = 169.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
ABD
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Divide your interest rate by the number of payments you'll make in the year (interest rates are expressed annually). ...
Multiply it by the balance of your loan, which for the first payment, will be your whole principal amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ending balance, or future value, of an account with simple interest can be calculated using the following formula: Using the prior example of a $1000 account with a 10% rate, after 3 years the balance would be $1300. This can be determined by multiplying the $1000 original balance times [1+(10%)(3)], or times 1.30.
