Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The company started with 2 employees. With the information that the amount of employees grew at a steady rate per month, we could simply solve this equation by multiplying 2 by 6 to get the number of employees the company now has. The company now has 12 employees.
The nth term of any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), a(n)=nth term, a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number...
We can easily see that the first term, a=-8
The common ratio is 4/-8=-2/4=1/-2=r=-1/2 so the rule is:
a(n)=-8(-1/2)^(n-1) so the tenth term is:
a(10)=-8(-1/2)^(10-1)
a(10)=-8(-1/2)^9
a(10)=1/64
Answer:
x = 20,000
p = $40
If the price increase by $1, the demand will decrease by 1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x = 160 - p
x = number of Robby costumes demanded in thousands
p = price in dollars.
a. How many costumes can be sold at a price of $140?
x = 160 - p
x = 160 - 140
= 20
x = 20,000
20 thousand costumes can be sold at a price of $140
b. What price should be charged if the demand is 120,000 Robby costumes?
x is in thousand
p is in dollars
x = 160 - p
x + p = 160
120 + p = 160
p = 160-120
= 40
p = $40
c. If the price increases by $1.00, by how much does the demand decrease?
x = 160 - p
= 160 - 141
= 19
x= 19,000
If the price increase by $1, the demand will decrease by 1000
