Answer:

The correct option is  D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the initial value of a GP is 1/2 and common ratio is 8. It means

a_1=\frac{1}{2}

r=8

The nth term of a GP is

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

where, a_1 is inital value and r is common ratio.

Substitute a_1=\frac{1}{2} and r=8 in the above formula.

a_n=\frac{1}{2}(8)^{n-1}

The exponential function to represent this sequence is

f(x)=\frac{1}{2}(8)^{x-1}

Therefore the correct option is D.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

the n th term of a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = ar^{n-1}

Where a is the first term and r the common ratio

here a = \frac{1}{2} and r = 8, hence

f(x) = \frac{1}{2}(8)^{x-1} → D

Jerry bought a coat on sale for 30% off. The sale price for the coat was $63, what is the regular price for the coat?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The original regular price for the coat is $90

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information in the question are;

The percentage that was off (removed) from the sale price = 30%

The sale price at which Jerry bought the coat = $63

Whereby the regular price = P, we have;

P - 30% of P = $63

P - 0.3×P = $63

P×(1 - 0.3) = $63

0.7·P = $63

P = $63/0.7 = $90

Therefore, the regular (original) price for the coat = $90

The coat regular price at which the coat is displayed is at $90.
