Hello,

2/10,-6/100,18/1000,-54/10000,162/100000;...


a(n+1)/a(n)=-3/10
a(0)=2/10*1

a(n)=2/10* (-3/10)^(n-1)

Answer:

B: a_n= 0.2(-0.3)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence

0.2, -0.06, 0.018,-0.0054,0.00162....

General explicit formula  is a_n= a_1(r)^{n-1}

Where r is the common ratio and a1 is the first term

a1 is 0.2 (first term)

we need to find out common ratio 'r'

To find 'r' divide second term by first term

\frac{-0.06}{0.2} =-0.3

Plug in the values in the general formula

a_n= a_1(r)^{n-1}

a_n= 0.2(-0.3)^{n-1}

Why do you divide each term in the sum by the same factor that you pull out of the sum?
arsen [322]

We do so to follow the rule of divisibility of each term(numbers).

<h2 /><h3><u>The Rule of Divisibility:</u></h3>

The rule of divisibility of numbers is a method applied in mathematics used to determine if a number or set of numbers is divisible by a particular integer without any remainder.

Let assume that we have a series of numbers;

  • 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

From the rule of divisibility, since all the numbers are multiples of 2;

We can deduce that 2 can be the factor that is pulled out from the series to divide each term in the sum.

If Sarah invests $5,000 into a fund that earns 6% interest compounded annually, how long will it take for her investment to grow
yarga [219]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

so next year her money would be 6% more so:

5000 + (0.6 * 5000) = (1.06) * 5000

So each year she'll have : (1.06)*(last year's money)

So we can say after n years she will have :

((1.06)^n) * 5000

So:

5000((1.06)^n)=50000

n is 39.5

So around 40

A company has determined that its weekly profit is a function of the number of items that it sells. Which equation could represe
Mrac [35]

Answer:

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

Step-by-step explanation:

A. y^2=4x^2-100

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

C. x=-y^2-400

D. x^2=-6y^2+200

we are to find profits (y) when the company sells x items

Option A can be used to calculate the profit (y) squared

Option B can be used to calculate profits (y)

Option C can be used to calculate items sold(x)

Option D can be used to calculate items sold squared(x^2)

We are asked to find the weekly profit (y) function which eliminate options A, C and D leaving us with option B

Therefore, the weekly profits (y) function in thousands of dollars when the company sells x items is

B. y= -x^2+50x-300
