f(x) = -10
set the equation equal to -10 and solve for x:
-10 = -x-1
Add 1 to both sides:
-9 = -x
Divide both sides by -1:
x = 9
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
a geometric sequence is where we multiply a factor from element to element.
a1 = $900
a2 = 981 = a1 × f = 900 ×
a3 = 1069.29 = a2 × f = a1 × f × f = s1 × f²

so, now let's try and get f.
remember, 981 = 900 × f
f = 981/900 = 109/100 = 1.09
just to control, we check for s3 :
900 × (1.09)² = 900 × 1.1881 = 1069.29
correct.
so,
a13 = 900 × (1.09)¹² = 2,531.398304
s13 is then the sum of all a1, ..., a13
there is a nice formula for sums of finite sequences
s13 = 900 × (1-f¹³) / (1-f) = 900×(1-(1.09)¹³) / (1-1.09) =
= 900×(1-3.065804612) / (-0.09) =
= 900×(-2.065804612) / (-0.09) = 20,658.04612
.
Exponent of a number says how many times.
2³
The 2 is the base number, while the little 3 is the exponent.
2³ = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Basically, you would just have to do two, three times.
Very time when you get the hang of it !!
Answer:
42 blocks
Step-by-step explanation:
4 +17 = one way
The answer= there and back
4+17=21
21 x 2 = 42
