Given the sequence: 8, 11, 14, 17,…, determine the 84th term and the sum of the first 59 terms.

1 answer:

8 0

It can be seen that the difference or subtraction between two successive terms of the sequence is always equal to 3.

11-8 = 3.
14-11 = 3.
This means that the following term is always equal to the previous term plus three.
Knowing this you can draw a formula or "rule" for succession.
Assuming that the term 0 or X0 of the sequence is 8, then:

X (n) = 8 + 3n.
So, the term 84 is:
X (84) = 5 + 3 * (84).
X (84) = 260.
The series would be:
∑ 8 + 3x. from x=0 to x=59
The result of that sum is: 5790

2x-1 less than -1 or -4x less than -12

Bond [772]

The solution to these equations is either x < 0 or x > 3.

In order to find them, we need to solve each equation separately. Let's start with the first one.

2x - 1 < -1 -----> Add 1 to both sides

2x < 0 -----> Now divide each side by 2.

x < 0

Now let's look at the second one.

-4x < -12 ----> Divide both sides by -4

x > 3 (Notice that the sign changes direction because we divided by a negative)

When you have an "or" statement, you'll wind up with two answers, so we use both of these.

At a certain real estate firm, realtors selling homes receive a commission of: 7% for the first $100,000 of the selling price, a

scoray [572]

Answer: The actual price of house sold at $109000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price = $100000

Rate of commission = 7%

So, Amount of commission would be

$\dfrac{7}{100}\times 100000\\\\\=\$7000$

Total commission = $7540

So, Remaining amount of commission would be

$\$7540-\$7000\\\\=\$540$

Rate of commission exceeding $100000 = 6%

Let the selling price of house be 'x'.

According to question,

$\dfrac{6}{100}\times x=540\\\\0.06x=540\\\\x=\dfrac{540}{0.06}\\\\x=\$9000$

Hence, the actual price of house sold at

$100000+$9000=$109000.
