Hello,

Part A:

f(2)=4*2²=16
f(1)=4*2^1=8
2-1=1
(f(2)-f(1))/(2-1)=(16-8)/1=8 ; r_1=8

f(3)=4*2^3=32
f(4)=4*2^4=64
(f(4)-f(3))/(4-3)=(64-32)/1=32 ; r_2=32

Part B:
r_2=32=4*8=4*r_1

Explainations:

(4*2^2-4*2^1)/(2-1)=4*2^1(2-1)=4*2
(4*2^4-4*2^3)/(4-3)=4*2^3*(2-1)=4*8=(4*2)*4

A boat that sold for $12,500 had a sales tax of $562.50. How much is the tax on a boat that sells for $9,550?

Degger [83]

Answer:

$429.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the tax rate on the sale of the boat: Let r represent that rate. Then,

$12,500r = $562.50. Solving for r, we get r = $562.50 / $12,500 = 0.045

The tax rate is 0.045, or 4.5%.

Applying this tax rate to a boat selling for $9,550:

0.045($9,550) = $429.75. This is the amount of tax on the 2nd boat.
