Answer:

$a_{n}$ = - 3 $(6)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = - 18 ÷ - 3 = - 108 ÷ - 18 = 6

This indicates the sequence is geometric with n th term ( explicit formula )

$a_{n}$ = a $(r)^{n-1}$

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = - 3 and r = 6, thus

$a_{n}$ = - 3 $(6)^{n-1}$

A store owner buys cell phones for $40 and marks up the price by 20%. Explained how to find the price at which she sells the cel

Gala2k [10]

Well depending on how you look at you could do $40 plus that extra 20% and since you said that means to add you would do the same price. as the actual price before you add that thirty 20% so you would add 40 plus 40 equals 80. If you did 25% the you would add 40 and 40 which is 80 and that's 20%out of 25% and add 5 to 80 and you get $85.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$t>15$ will be inequality which shows the times there will be more than 10 gallons in the barrel.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine:

Write an inequality showing the times there will be more than 10 gallons in the barrel.

Information Fetching and Solution Steps:

Skylar is filling a barrel with water.

The graph shows the relationship between time in minutes and the gallons of water in the barrel.

As the questions asks to determine the inequality showing the times there will be more than 10 gallons in the barrel.

For inequalities with 'more than', we use the 'greater than' symbol.

The graph shows that at time 15 minutes, the number of gallons of water is being shown as 10. As we have to determine the inequality for the time there will be more than 10 gallons in the barrel. So, time must be greater than 15 when there will be more than 10 gallons in the barrel.

If time is represented by 't', then the inequality showing the times there will be more than 10 gallons in the barrel will be:

$t>15$

Therefore, $t>15$ will be inequality which shows the times there will be more than 10 gallons in the barrel.
