Answer:

The twentieth term is 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that describes the arithmetic sequence describes it's "general term", which means that all the numbers in that sequence must follow that equation. For instance, if we want to find the first term of the sequence we must make a = 1 and we have:

a1 = 3*1 - 10

a1 = -7

Therefore to find the twentieth term we need to make n equal to 20. This is done below:

a20 = 3*20 - 10

a20 = 60 - 10

a20 = 50

The twentieth term is 50.

Find a general solution of y" + 4y = 0.

klio [65]

Answer:

$y(x)=C_{1}cos2x+C_{2}sin(2x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients:

y" + 4y = 0

Its characteristic equation:

r^2+4=0

r1=2i

r2=-2i

We use these roots in order to find the general solution:

$y(x)=C_{1}cos2x+C_{2}sin(2x)$

Your grandparents invested $2,000 for you on the day you were born. How much will this investment be worth on your 25th birthday

We know that, Amount in Compound interest is given by :

$\bigstar \ \ \boxed{\sf{Amount = Principal\bigg(1 + \dfrac{Rate \ of \ Interest}{100}\bigg)^{Time \ Period}}}$

Given : Principal = $2000

Given : Annual yield is 5% and the interest is compounded quarterly

It means : Interest is compounded 4 times in a year

$\implies \sf{Rate \ of \ Interest = \dfrac{R}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4}}$

$\sf{\implies Time \ period = (25 \times 4) = 100}$

Substituting all the values in the formula, we get :

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{\dfrac{5}{4}}{100}\bigg)^{100}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{5}{400}\bigg)^{100}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{1}{80}\bigg)^{100}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(\dfrac{81}{80}\bigg)^{100}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000 \times (1.0125)^{100}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000 \times 3.463}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 6926.8}$
