Answer: 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given formula tells us that the next term f(n+1) of the sequence is -0.5 times the previous term f(n)

First term of the sequence is f(1) = 120

Second term of the sequence is f(2) = f(1+1) = -0.5 f(1) = -0.5 (120) = -60

Third term of the sequence is f(3) = f(2+1) = -0.5 f(2) = -0.5 (-60) = 30

Fourth term of the sequence is f(4) = f(3+1) = -0.5 f(3) = -0.5 (30) = -15

Fifth term of the sequence is f(5) = f(4+1) = -0.5 f(4) = -0.5 (-15) = <em>7.5</em>

Find a and b to make the following matrices equal.
podryga [215]
We need the following to be true
a+2b = -a
a+4 = 2a - 3b

Let's look at the first equation.
a + 2b = -a
Subtract both sides by a
2b = -2a
b = -a

Substitute b= -a into the second equation
a+4 = 2a + 3a
a + 4 = 5a
4a = 4
a = 1

Just take the negative of that and you get the value of b.
b = -1

Your solution is a=1 and b = -1.

Have an awesome day! :)

Andrew has a four-year college loan for $20,000. The lender charges a simple interest rate of 5 percent. How much interest will
Olegator [25]

Given that loan amount P=20000

Interest rate r=5% = 0.05

Time of loan t=4 years

Now to find the interest amount we just plug those values into formula

simple interest = P × r × t

simple interest = 20000* 0.05* 4

simple interest = 1000 * 4

simple interest = 4000

Hence final answer is choice b. $4000.
