Answer:
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:
an = a0*r^(n-1)
Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:
a0*r^(n-1) = an
a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]
We then apply the data given to us
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120
The first term of the sequence is -120.

Answer:
1 3/40
Step-by-step explanation:
1 1/4 +1 1/5 +7/8= 3 13/40
3/4 .3= 2 1/4
3 13/40 - 2 1/4
Answer:
<em>Lisa borrowed $8,500</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simple Interest
</u>
Occurs when the interest is calculated on the original principal of a loan only.
Unlike compound interest where the interest earned in the compounding periods is added to the old principal, simple interest only considers the principal to calculate the interest.
The interest earned is calculated as follows:
I=Prt
Where:
I = Interest
P = initial principal balance
r = interest rate
t = time
Lisa took out a loan for t=5 months and was charged simple interest at an annual rate of r=4.8% = 0.048. She paid interest for I=$170.
We need to convert the time to years (there are 12 months per year):
t = 5 /12 years.
The formula must be solved for P:
Substituting:
Lisa borrowed $8,500
She would have $7160.86 left over in cash here's why.....
she starts off with $8,322.65 and spends $830.98 on rent $8,322.65-$830.98= $7,491.67
then spends $210.36 on food and another $120.45 on gas
$7,491.67-$210.36= $7,281.31 - $120.45= $7,160.86 <---- Left over $
