Answer:

Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Phalicia opens her savings account one year (12 months) before she goes to college.

With Option 1, she would have saved 300 + 50 * 11 = $850. We do 50 * 11 and not 50 * 12 because she deposits $50 for 11 months, not 12.

With Option 2, she would have saved 5 * 3¹¹ = $885735. Note that we do 3¹¹ and not 3¹² because 5 is being tripled 11 times.

Obviously, she should choose Option 2 because she saves A LOT more money.

Additionally, we can notice that Option 1 is an example of an arithmetic sequence whereas Option 2 is an example of a geometric sequence. Their explicit formulas would be aₙ = 50n + 250 and aₙ = 5 * 3⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾ respectively.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

14 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

25n+100=450

Step 2: Subtract 100 from both sides.

25n+100−100=450−100

25n=350

Step 3: Divide both sides by 25.

25n/25 =350/25

n=14

x = 4800/160
x = 30......so 48 is 30% of 160

Verify the identity algebraically:<br> Csc(-x)tanx =-secx
weqwewe [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that

\sin(-x) = -\sin x

Therefore,

\csc(-x) = \dfrac{1}{\sin(-x)} = -\dfrac{1}{\sin x}

so

\csc(-x)\tan x = \left(-\dfrac{1}{\sin x}\right)\left(\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}\right)

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= -\dfrac{1}{\cos x} = -\sec x
