Answer:

16 responses

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

a_n=r^{n-1}

where

a_n----> n^{th} term of the sequence

r ---> is the common ratio

a ---> the first term of the sequence

a=50\\r=100\%-10\%=90\%=90/100=0.90

substitute

a_n=50(0.90)^{n-1}

For n=12

substitute

a_n=50(0.90)^{12-1}=16

What is the vertex of the quadratic function given in the table?
likoan [24]

Answer:

The vertex is (-3,-2)

The vertex is basically the very top or very lowest, so you will notice how values around (-3,-2) are relatively the same in the y coordinate, but -2 is the "highest/lowest" so that's how you know it's a vertex.

If you try picturing the points in your head, you will see it make a U and at the bottom of the U is the vertex.

You invest $5000 into an account that has a 2.7% annual interest rate and is compounded quarterly. Approximately how long will i
allsm [11]

Since the interest is compounded, we will have to use the compound interest formula.

We Weill plug 7500 in for A, because that's the amount of money that we want to have at the end of some amount of time.

5000 will go in for P because that's the starting amount.

2.7% will be converted into a decimal percentage form. You can do this by dividing by 100, which you will get .027, and then plug that in for r, the rate.

Since the interest is compounded quarterly, n = 4.

After a bit of number crunching, you will get to the point where you have to solve for an exponent. You can easily do this by using the natural log ln(). One property of logarithm is that you can take the exponent and place it in front of the log. Now you can divide both sides to separate and solve for t.
