natali 33 [55]

Answer: see Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

THE GAINEY'S:

Recursive Formula :

A1 = $10

An = An-1 + $10

A2 = $10 + $10 = $20

Where n = day of the month

Explicit formula :

y = a + b(c - 1)

WHERE:

y = final amount

initial amount = a

Increment on initial amount = b

Day of the month = c

THE ARNOLD'S :

Recursive formula:

First day of the month (A1) = $10

An = 2(An-1)

A2 = 2(A1) = 2(10) = $20

A3 = 2(A2) = 2(20) =$40

Explicit formula:

y = a(b)^c

Where :

y = final amount

initial amount = a

Increment on initial amount = b

Day of the month = c

We can drop the absolute value and the signs, and the integer part if they're all the same, and then make a common denominator and check for a decreasing sequence.

10/12, 7/12, 5/12 -- Check decreasing

3 1/3, 3 2/3, 2 2/3 -- nope, increases then decreases

6 5/7, 6 3/7, 5 2/7 - Check, decreasing

11 7/10,  11 6/10,  10 3/10 -- Check, decreasing

Answer: A,C,D
