Answer:

Li Jing

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence:

-5,-25,-125,-625,...

Mohamed's Formula is given as: g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n}}

Using Mohamed's formula:

When\: n=1,g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n}}=-5\cdot5^{1}=-25\\When\: n=2,g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n}}=-5\cdot5^{2}=-125\\

Li Jing's Formula is given as: g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n-1}}

Using Mohamed's formula:

When\: n=1,g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n-1}}=-5\cdot5^{1-1}=-5\\When\: n=2,g(n)=-5\cdot5^{\large{n-1}}=-5\cdot5^{\large{2-1}}=-25\\

We can see that Li Jing's Formula produces the gien sequence.

Li Jing is Right.

Riley buys office equipment with a total price of $6,280 for her new company. If the office equipment depreciates at a rate of 1
alexdok [17]

Answer: y = 6280(0.87)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the office equipment depreciates at a rate of 13% each year, then the rate of depreciation is exponential.

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

y = b(1 - r)^x

Where

y represents the value of the office equipment after t years.

x represents the number of years.

b represents the initial value of the office equipment.

r represents rate of decay.

From the information given,

y = $628

r = 13% = 13/100 = 0.13

Therefore, the equation that represents the value of the equipment after x years is

y = 6280(1 - 0.13)^x

y = 6280(0.87)^x
