The answer for X is 3 and the answer for Y is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
So, if you plug in 3 for x you would have to multiply 3×4, which is 12 then if you replace y for a 9 ,well you have to subtract 12-9 and get 3.
Answer:
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:
an = a0*r^(n-1)
Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:
a0*r^(n-1) = an
a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]
We then apply the data given to us
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Use the formula for continuous compounding:
A = Ce^(r*t), where r is the annual interest rate as a decimal fraction.
Here,
A = $500*e^(0.05*8) = $745.91 (answer)
1, 4, & 5 are quadratic expressions in vertex form
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If Samantha's earnings continue to increase at the same rate, this means that her earning is increasing arithmetically.
If she earned $550 in the first day, we can say the first term is $550
If she earned $750 on the third day, we can say the third term is $750
For us to know by how much her money is increasing, we need to find the common difference d formed by the sequence
550, x , 750
T1 = 550
T2 = x
T3 = 750
Common difference d = T2-T1 = T3-T2
x - 550 = 750 - x = d
Let's calculate the second term first i.e x
Since x - 550 = 750 - x = d
x - 550 = 750 - x
Collect like terms
x+x = 750+550
2x = 1300
x = 1300/2
x = 650
d = T2-T1
d = x - T1
d = 650-550
d = 100
Hence her money keeps increasing by $100 each day
