Answer:
a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.
Answer: -0.82
b) Find the sum to infinity of this sequence.
Answer: 2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
nth term in geometric series is given by ![4\ th \ term = ar^n-1\\-2.196 = 4r^{4-1} \\-2.196/4 = r^{3} \\r = \sqrt[3]{0.549} \\r = 0.82](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%5C%20th%20%5C%20term%20%3D%20ar%5En-1%5C%5C-2.196%20%3D%204r%5E%7B4-1%7D%20%5C%5C-2.196%2F4%20%3D%20r%5E%7B3%7D%20%5C%5Cr%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B0.549%7D%20%5C%5Cr%20%3D%200.82)
where
a is the first term
r is the common ratio and
n is the nth term

given
a = 4
4th term = -2.196
let
common ratio of this sequence. be r
![4\ th \ term = ar^n-1\\-2.196 = 4r^{4-1} \\-2.196/4 = r^{3} \\r = \sqrt[3]{-0.549} \\r = -0.82](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%5C%20th%20%5C%20term%20%3D%20ar%5En-1%5C%5C-2.196%20%3D%204r%5E%7B4-1%7D%20%5C%5C-2.196%2F4%20%3D%20r%5E%7B3%7D%20%5C%5Cr%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B-0.549%7D%20%5C%5Cr%20%3D%20-0.82)
a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.
answer: -0.82
sum of infinity of geometric sequence is given by = a/(1-r)
thus,
sum to infinity of this sequence = 4/(1-(-0.82) = 4/1.82 = 2.2
Ah yes, good ol’ Pythagorean’s theorem.
The hypotenuse is the opposite of the 90 degree angle, the longest side of the triangle.
The legs are opposite of the acute angles
Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2:
Let’s plug in some values
(6)^2 + (3)^2 = c^2
C = 6.7
The side will be 6.7 units
3)
Let’s plug in some values
(13.3)^2 = (9.7)^2 + (b)^2
(13.3)^2 - (9.7)^2 = b^2
176.89 - 94.09 = b^2
b = 9.1
The side will be 9.1 units
Answer:
- scientific or graphing calculator
- TVM solver
- spreadsheet
Step-by-step explanation:
For many future-value calculations, a scientific calculator is a sufficient tool. Of course, one must know the appropriate formula to use.
A good alternative when the calculation is a little messy is a TVM solver or special-purpose financial calculator. I prefer this tool because it requires little more than entering numbers in to the right slots.
Most modern spreadsheet programs and apps come with financial formulas built in. So, they, too, can be easy tools to use for calculating future value. These are especially handy when a number of scenarios need to be explored. (I always have to look up the formulas to see which one is appropriate and what its inputs are. So, I find a spreadsheet less useful for a simple calculation.)
<span>2(p + 1) = 24
Use distributive property
2p+2=24
Subtract 2 from both sides
2p=22
Divide 2 on both sides
Final Answer: p=11</span>
