Answer:
- using the rule given: 2.5
- using an exponential rule: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluating the linear rule given, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)(1) -1 = 7/2 -1 = 5/2 = 2.5
_____
We suspect you may intend the exponential function ...
an = 7(1/2)^(n-1)
Then, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)^(1 -1) = 7(1) = 7 . . . . the first term is 7
_____
When writing an exponential expression in plain text, it requires the exponential operator, a caret (^). If the exponent contains any arithmetic, as this one does, it must be enclosed in parentheses.
If all were dimes, the value would be $3.30. Brendan has $2.85 more than that. Each quarter that replaces a dime increases the value by $0.15, so Brendan must have $2.85/$0.15 = 19 quarters.
Brendan has 14 dimes and 19 quarters.
They are both in standard form.
8 x 100 = 800
5 x 10= 50
1x1= 1
6 x 0.10= 0.6
4 x 0.01 = 0.04
= 851.64
