Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given series is a geometric series because the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the sum of the first n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Where

n represents the number of term in the sequence.

a represents the first term in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

a = 3

r = 6/3 = 12/6 = 2

n = 15

Therefore, the sum of the first 15 terms, S15 is

S15 = (3 × 2^(15) - 1)/2 - 1

S15 = (3 × 32767)/1

S15 = 98301

George wants to invest $20,000 One investment pays interest at a rate of 18 2/3% while another pays interest at a rate of 0.1872

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Investment with interest rate 0.1872 is better

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

George investment principal = $20,000

The Rate of interest (R1) = 18 $\frac{2}{3}$ % = $\frac{56}{3}$ %

I.e R1 = 18.67 %

Again The The Rate of interest (R2) = 0.1872 = 18.72 %

Let the time period for both rate of interest = 1 years

Now from compound interest method

Amount = Principal × $(1 + \frac{Rate}{100})^{Time}$

Or, A 1 = $ 20 , 000 × $(1 + \frac{18.67}{100})^{1}$

Or, A 1 = $ 20 ,000 × 1.1867

∴ A 1 = $ 23,734

And A 2 = $ 20 , 000 × $(1 + \frac{18.72}{100})^{1}$

Or, A 2 = $ 20 ,000 × 1.1872

∴ A 2 = $ 23,744

Hence From the calculation of both amount it is clear that , investment with interest rate 0.1872 is better . Answer

Write 0.0000004954 in scientific notation.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

By scientific notation I am assuming you mean standard form, as that is used primarily in scientific calculations. The answer in standard form would be
$4.954 \times {10}^{ - 7}$
I hope this helps!
