Since it is going down a constant rate (-3) keep subtracting 3 until you get to the 30th term.

Hmmm 18, 15, 12?   what's going on?  wait a second, 15 is 18-3, and 12 is 15 -3, so... to get the next number is really just subtracting 3 from the current one, meaning, is an arithmetic sequence, the first term's value is 18, and the common difference is -3.

now, what is the 30th term anyway?

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
a_1=18\\
d=-3\\
n=30
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_n=18+(30-1)(-3)\implies a_{30}=18+(30-1)(-3)
\\\\\\
a_{30}=18-87\implies \boxed{a_{30}=-69}

What is the rule for the piecewise function shown in the graph?
andrey2020 [161]
The first choice.
The equation of this first line is -2, and since there is an open circle, it is not equal to -3.
The equation of the second line is -x-2, and there is a closed circle, so it includes -3

Looking for some furniture for her new apartment, Susan visits the local swap meet in search of something cheap. Knowing that mo

The amount that Susan will have to pay in interest is given by: Option A: $5.33 approx.

<h3>How to find the percentage from the total value?</h3>

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).

Thus, that thing in number is

\dfrac{a}{100} \times b

For this case, we're given that:

  • Amonut Susan took out = $200
  • Interest rate = 32% annually (interest rates are usually expressed in annual (yearly) terms).
  • Amount paid off within 1 month

The interest was 32% annually, so in monthly terms, it would be 32/12 = 2.667% approx. (as there are 12 months in each year)

Since the balance was paid within one month, the interest would be simply 1 time calculated on the main balance.

Thus, we get:
Interest amount ≈ 2.667% of $200 = \dfrac{200}{100} \times 2.667 = 5.334 \approx 5.33 \: \rm (in \: dollars)

Thus, the amount that Susan will have to pay in interest is given by: Option A: $5.33 approx.
