An arithmetic sequence is that in which the consecutive terms share or have the same difference commonly referred to as the "common difference". The terms in the arithmetic sequence always starts with the term 0 or the initial value. In this item, the value of n should be greater than or equal to. Therefore the answer is the second choice.
If we are to get the first term of the arithmetic sequence, it will become,
first term:
a0 = (-1) + 7(0 - 1) = -8
Therefore, the first term is equal to -8.
Subtract four from both sides. That'll put both numbers without a variable on one side, and the number with the variable is by itself.
Answer:A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: a) 8.779 years
b) 8.664 years
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a)
- A: accumulated amount (balance)
- P: principal amount (original/initial investment)
- r: interest rate (convert to a decimal)
- n: number of times compounded per year
- t: number of years
Given: A = 1800, P = 900, r = 8% = 0.08, n = 3, t = unknown
b)
Find the common ratio for the following sequence. 27, 9, 3, 1, ... = 1/3
Find the common ratio for the following sequence. 1/2, -1/4, 1/8, -1/16, ... = -1/2
Find the common ratio for the following sequence. 1/2, -1/4, 1/8, -1/16, ...
= -1/2
