Oxana [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

aₙ= -2n²

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Solution 1:</u></h2>

The sequence:

  • -2, -8, -18, -32, -50

The difference between the terms:

  • -6, -10, -14, -18
  • a₁= -2
  • a₂= a₁ - 6 = a₁ - 2*3= a₁- 2*(2²-1)
  • a₃= a₂ - 10 = a₁ - 16= a₁ - 2*8= a₁ - 2*(3²-1)
  • a₄= a₃- 14= a₁ - 30= a₁ - 2*15= a₁ - 2*(4² -1)
  • ...
  • aₙ= a₁ -2*(n²-1)= -2 -2n² +2= -2n²

As per above, the nth term is: aₙ= -2n²

<h2><u /></h2><h2><u>Solution 2</u></h2>

The sequence:

  • -2, -8, -18, -32, -50
  • -2*1, -2*4, - 2*9, -2*25
  • -2*1², -2*2², -2*3², -2*4², -2*5², ..., -2*n²
  • aₙ= -2n²

What is value of x in the equation(x+ 4)^5 =3125
olga_2 [115]
(X+4)^5=3125
Use distributive property for x and 5 and 4 and 5 to get
5x+20=3125
Then subtract 20 from both sides to get
5x=3105
Then divide both sides by 5 to get
X= 621

Nolan invested $5,300 in an account paying an interest rate of 3.8% compounded annually. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are
Sveta_85 [38]

It will take Nolan 7 years compounded annually at the rate of 3% for his money to reach $6880

To solve this problem, we would use the formula of compound interest.

Data given;

  • A = 6880
  • P = 5300
  • r = 3.8 % = 0.038
  • N = 1

<h3>Compound Interest</h3>

The formula used in calculating compound interest is given as

A = P(1 + r/n)^n^t

let us plug in the values and solve for t.

6880 = 5300(1 + \frac{0.038}{1})^1^*^t\\&#10; \frac{6880}{5300}=(1+0.038)^t\\&#10; 1.29=(1.038)^t

Take the natural log of both sides

ln(1.29)=ln(1.038)^t\\&#10;0.25=t*0.037\\&#10;t=0.25/0.037\\&#10;t=6.75\\&#10;t=7

The time it will take for $5330 compounded annually at the rate of 3% is 7 years.

A book costs $25 .Marilyn bought the book during a sale with 15% discount. How much did she pay for the book
belka [17]
Original cost of the book = $25
Percentage of discount got by Marilyn while buying the book = 15%
Amount of discount got by Marilyn while buying the book =  (15/100) * 25
                                                                                            = 375/100
                                                                                            = 3.75 dollars
So
The amount paid by Marilyn for buying the book = (25 - 3.75) dollars
                                                                              = 21.25 dollars
<span>So the total amount paid by Marilyn for buying the book is $21.25. I hope the procedure for doing this problem is clear to you.</span>

Identify the vertical asymptote and the hole on the graph of the function f(x) = x2+x-6/x2-6x+8.  ANSWER:
morpeh [17]

Answer: There is an asymptote at x = 4 and 2

and hole at x=2

Explanation:

To find  vertical asymptote  simply equate denominator to zero and find the value of x which is the vertical asymptote.

and hole is the point where numerator and denominator gives equal value

So, to find hole find fractions of numerator and denominator separately the common factor is the hole.

Here after factorisation the given function

\frac{x^{2}+x-6} {x^{2}-6x+8} =\frac{(x-2)(x+3)}{(x-2)(x-4)}

Here, (x-2) is the common factor in numerator and denominator is the hole and value of x at denominator after equating to zero is x=2 ,4
