Answer:
- 5, 2, 9, 16 and d = + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
to obtain the first four terms substitute n = 2, 3, 4 into the recursive formula
f(1) = - 5 ← given
f(2) = f(1) + 7 = - 5 + 7 = 2
f(3) = f(2) + 7 = 2 + 7 = 9
f(4) = f(3) + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16
common difference d = 16 - 9 = 9 - 2 = 2 - (- 5) = 7
Year Net Profit
1 <span>$14,250.00
2 $15,390.00
3 $16,621.20
4 $17,950.90</span>2
We need to get the increase of the net profit of the current year from the previous year.
Percentage increase = (Current year - Previous Year)/ Previous Year * 100%
Year 2: (15,390 - 14, 250) / 14,250 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Year 3: (16,621.20 - 15,390) / 15,390 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Year 4: (17,950.90 - 16,621.20) / 16,621.20 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Every year the net income increases by 8%. So, the net income in Year 5 will be:
17,950.90 x 1.08 = 19,386.97 Choice D.
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
7(-2) - 4(1) = -18
-14 - 4 = -18
-18 = -18
TRUE
(-2) + 12(1) = 10
-2 + 12 = 10
10 = 10
TRUE
The answer to this is x = 2
