Answer:

Correct answer is: D) a₆ = - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a₁ = 9 and aₙ = aₙ₋₁ - 4

We know it is

a₆ = a₅ + d also it is given a₆ = a₅ - 4

When we equate the right sides of equality we get:

a₅ + d = a₅ - 4 => d = - 4

We also know it is a₆ = a₁ + 5 d

Now we will find a₆

a₆ = 9 + 5 (-4) = 9 - 20 = - 11

a₆ = - 11

What would the total account value be if i deposited 14,000 into a bank account earning 3.25% compounded quarterly for 4 years?

$\bf \qquad \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$14000\\
r=rate\to 3.25\%\to \frac{3.25}{100}\to &0.0325\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{quarterly, thus four}
\end{array}\to &4\\
t=years\to &4
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=14000\left(1+\frac{0.0325}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 4}\implies A=14000(1.008125)^{16}$
