An object falls 9 meters during the first second, another 27 meters during the second second, and then 81 meters more during the

third second. If this pattern continues, how far does the object fall during the first 4 seconds?
Hint: cap s sub n equals start fraction a sub one left parenthesis one minus r to the power of n end power right parenthesis over one minus r end fraction comma r ≠ 1, where a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio.

117 meters
360 meters
426 meters
980 meters

360 meters is the answer as 9 meter in 1st second ,27 meter in 2nd and 81 in 3rd it is in a series of geometric progression ...of 9,27,81 in which 9*3 =27,27*3=81 so next number will be 81*3=243 total distance moved in 4 seconds is 243+81+27+9=360 meters

Find the measure of
Alborosie
Angle B is HALF of the sum of the two angles it intercepts.

Since it intercepts 48 and 142 degrees, simply add them add divide by 2:
B = (48 + 142)/2
B = 190/2
B = 95

The measure of angle B is 95 degrees.

Ms. Whodunit needs $15 000 to go on her dream vacation in four years. How much
lisov135 [29]

For each situation, we have that:

11) Using compound interest, it is found that she needs to invest $9,781.11 now.

12) Using the future value formula, it is found that you will have $728,753 after 48 years.

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

The amount of money earned, in compound interest, after t years, is given by:

A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

In which:

  • A(t) is the amount of money after t years.
  • P is the principal(the initial sum of money).
  • r is the interest rate(as a decimal value).
  • n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.

For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

A(t) = 15000, t = 4, r = 0.055, n = 2.

Hence we solve for P to find the amount that needs to be invested.

A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

15000 = P\left(1 + \frac{0.055}{2}\right)^{2 \times 8}

(1.0275)^{16}P = 15000

P = \frac{15000}{(1.0275)^{16}}

P = $9,718.11.

She needs to invest $9,781.11 now.

<h3>What is the future value formula?</h3>

It is given by:

V(n) = P\left[\frac{(1 + r)^{n-1}}{r}\right]

In which:

  • P is the payment.
  • n is the number of payments.
  • r is the interest rate.

For item 12, the parameters are given as follows:

P = 150, r = 0.07/12 = 0.005833, n = 48 x 12 = 576.

Hence the amount will be given by:

V(n) = P\left[\frac{(1 + r)^{n-1}}{r}\right]

V(n) = 150\left[\frac{(1.005833)^{575}}{0.005833}\right]

V(n) = $728,753.

You will have $728,753 after 48 years.

-1/9+-5/9=<br> Simplest form<br> 24 points
Nataly [62]

-1/9+-5/9=

When you are adding a negative number, the operation turns into subtraction:

-1/9-5/9=\frac{-1-5}{9}=-\frac{6}{9}=-\frac{2}{3}

Really, it's just subtraction. The simplest form is -2/3, which is equal to -0.66667.

I hope this helps :)
