Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for the explicit formula of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_n=a\cdot(r)^{n-1}

Where a is the initial term, r is the common ratio, and n is the nth term.

Our sequence is: 8, 4, 2, 1...

So, we can see that our initial term or a is 8.

Each subsequent term is half of the previous one. So, our common ratio is 1/2.

Let's substitute 8 for a and 1/2 for r to acquire:

a_n=8\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

So, our answer is C.

And we're done!

Nicky is considering two different companies for textbook rentals. For
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

if youre answer has to be a whole number it would be 3 otherwise it would be  x<4 ( so anything less than 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

so because we are trying to find which company is less, we need to set up in inequality.

so first lets do company A

because 15 is our reoccuring fee, its going to be the coeifficient

so the equation would be

A - 15x + 20

now lets do company B

because it only 20 every month we dont need to have a constant which means the equation for B would be

B - 20x

so lets put it all together

15x + 20 > 20x ( remember our B side has to be less )

now lets solve it

20 > 5x

we know that if x = 4 then the two would be equal, which means our answer would have to be 3 months.

now always check your work.

15 (3) + 20 = 65

20(3) = 60

morpeh [17]
So you need to find 15% of $27.38. To do this you can multiply 27.38 * .15 and get 4.107. Round to $4.11 and this is the tip. The total bill would be $31.49
