For the answer to the question above, 
a1 = 40 
<span>a2 = 20 </span>
<span>a3 = 10 </span>
<span>.. </span>
<span>aN = (1/2^N-1) a1 { in general aN= (r^N-1) A1 </span>

<span>a5 = (1/2^4) 40 = 40/16 = 2.5
</span>
So the answer to your question is 2.5
I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!

Answer:

So the answer to your question is 2.5. Thanks to MissPhiladelphia for her answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the answer to the question above,  

a1 = 40  

a2 = 20  

a3 = 10  

..  

aN = (1/2^N-1) a1 { in general aN= (r^N-1) A1  

a5 = (1/2^4) 40 = 40/16 = 2.5

A man invests $2000 in an account that pays 6.5% interest per year, compounded quarterly.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. $2275.28; b. 17.04 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal to be invested is $2000

Interest rate (r) per year is 6.5 quarterly.

Interest is calculated compoundly.

a. Time (t) for the investment is given to be 2 years.

Amount after two years is = Principal × ( 1+ \frac{r}{100n}) ^ {nt} where the value of n is 4.

⇒ A = 2000  × ( 1+ \frac{6.5}{400}) ^ {8}

⇒ A = $2275.28.

b. Now the value of A is given to be triple the principal = $ (3 × 2000).

Therefore we need to find the value of t.

⇒ 3 × 2000 =  2000  × ( 1+ \frac{6.5}{400}) ^ {4t}

⇒ ㏑ 3 = 4t × ㏑ ( 1.01625)

⇒ t = 17.04

Therefore it would take 17.04 years for the principal to triple.

If a paint can holds 2.5 litres, whats the radius of the can if it has a height of 20 cm?
Sloan [31]
Hello!

2.5 litres = 1,000 * 2.5 = 2,500 cubic cm

 

volume = π * radius2 * height

  2,500 = π * r2 * 20


2,500 / 20π = r^2


(Square Root of) 2,500 / 20π = r^2


6.307  <span>centimeters </span>= r (Radius)

 Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)
