Colin received a bonus check for 2,500$. He is going to deposit the money into his bank account that receives 5.5% simple intere

alex41 [277]

This is the concept of financial mathematics, the simple interest rate is given by:
S.I.=(PRT)/100
where:
P=principle=$2500
R=rate=5.5%
T=time=1 year
Hence;
S.I.=(5.5*2500.1)/100
=$137.5
Thus the total amount he had after 1 year will be:
2500+137.5
=$2,637.5

Write the frost ten terms of a sequence whose first term is -10 and whose common difference is -2

Temka [501]

Answer:

$-10,-12,-14,-16,-18,-20,-22,-24,-26,-28,...$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant, called the common difference

The formula for an Arithmetic Sequence is equal to

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

where

d is the common difference

n is the number of terms

a_1 is the first term of the sequence

In this problem we have

$a_1=-10\\d=-2$

substitute

$a_n=-10+(n-1)(-2)$

$a_n=-10-2n+2$

$a_n=-2n-8$

Find the first ten terms

$a_1=-10$

For n=2 ----> $a_2=-2(2)-8=-12$

For n=3 ----> $a_3=-2(3)-8=-14$

For n=4 ----> $a_4=-2(4)-8=-16$

For n=5 ----> $a_5=-2(5)-8=-18$

For n=6 ----> $a_6=-2(6)-8=-20$

For n=7 ----> $a_7=-2(7)-8=-22$

For n=8 ----> $a_8=-2(8)-8=-24$

For n=9 ----> $a_9=-2(9)-8=-26$

For n=10 ----> $a_1_0=-2(10)-8=-28$

The sequence is

$-10,-12,-14,-16,-18,-20,-22,-24,-26,-28,...$

A tree grows vertically on a hillside. The hill is at a 16° angle to the horizontal. The tree casts an 18-meter shadow up the hi

elixir [45]

The height of the tree is the sum of the part below the line parallel to the horizontal and the part above the line parallel to the horizontal.

Height of the part below the line parallel to the horizontal = 18 sin16° = 4.96 meters
Horizontal distance of the tip of the of the shadow from the tree = 18 cos16° = 17.30 meters
Height of the part above the line parallel to the horizontal = 17.3 tan68° = 42.83 meters

Height of the tree = 4.96 + 42.83 = 47.79 meters
