The geometric sequence is starting with 2 and multiplying by 3 every time. We can get the rule of this sequence by...
If 2 is a_0, 6 is a_1, 18 is a_2, etc.
a_n=2*3^n
For the 14th term, which is a_13, the value is 2*3^13.
Using a calculator because I'm too lazy to calculate 3^13 sorry, we can get.
3188646
Change in altitude:
42,000 - 18,000 = 24,000 feet
Rate of change = 24,000 feet / 12 minutes = 2,000 feet per minute
Because the plane was going down, the rate of change would be negative.
The rate would be -2,000 feet per minute.
Answer:
Since the price is given by an exponential function, the decline in price is exponential.
The component will cost $36.8475 in three years.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the price of a component has the following format:

In which P(t) is the price after t years, P(0) is the initial price, and r is the rate that the price decreases.
Since the price is given by an exponential function, the decline in price is exponential.
The price of a computer component is decreasing at a rate of 15% per year.
This means that 
Component costs $60 today
So P(0) = 60. Then



What will it cost in three years?
This is P(3).


The component will cost $36.8475 in three years.
Answer:
13 buttons
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to add the buttons received by the 6 students.
= 10 + 14 + 15 + 12 + 13 + 14
= 78 buttons
Therefore the number of buttons received by each students can be calculated as follows
= 78/6
= 13 buttons
Hence each student will receive 13 buttons
