Answer:
- diagram is below
- 6, 11, 16, 21
- s[n] = s[n-1] +5
- 26, 31, 36
Step-by-step explanation:
a) See below for the next diagram in sequence.
__
b) The numbers of straws in each diagram are ...
6, 11, 16, 21, ...
__
c) Each term is 5 more than the previous one, so the recursive rule for the number of straws is ...
s[1] = 6
s[n] = s[n-1] +5
__
d) The next three terms of the sequence are ...
..., 26, 31, 36, ...
9 more than y is an expression so it would be 9+y
Answer:
The current price of the unit trust = £13,831.72
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it increased 7% per annum in last three years and decreased by 3% per annum before that, it implies that the unit trust decreased by 3% per annum for the first 2 years and then increased by 7% per annum for the next 3 years in the total 5 year period
The invested after 2 years = 12,000*(1-0.03)^2 = £11,290.8
This amount then grows by 7% for the next 3 years making it = 11,290.80*(1+0.07)^3 = £13,831.7155 = £13,831.72 (Rounded to 2 decimals)
The current price of the unit trust = £13,831.72 (Rounded to 2 decimals)
The answer is quite simple after looking at it. 0.1 is a tenth. 72 is a whole number, so you would have 72 1/10. 1/10 is a tenth and 72 is still the whole number.
