Answer:

an = 160·0.85^(n-1)
$51.29

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given formula, a1 refers to the first term of the sequence (160), and r refers to the common ratio (136/160 = 0.85). Putting these values into the formula gives ...

a) Explicit formula: an = 160·0.85^(n-1)

b) The 8th term is found by putting n=8 into the formula and doing the arithmetic:

a8 = 160·0.85^(8-1) ≈ 51.29

After 8 months, the price is predicted to be $51.29.

Answer:

an = 160[0.85^(n-1)]

$51.29

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 160

ar = 136

r = 136/160 = 0.85

an = 160[0.85^(n-1)]

a8 = 160[0.85^(8-1)]

= 51.29233413

Find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula. Write the final equation using slope-intercept form. (1,2) with a s

Lilit [14]

Answer:

$y-2=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)$

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{11}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Point-slope form: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ where m is the slope of the line and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a given point

Given that the slope is -3/4, we can plug it into $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ as m:

$y-y_1=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-x_1)$

We can also plug in the given point (1,2):

$y-2=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)$

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, isolate y:

$y-2=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)+2\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{3}{4}+2\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{11}{4}$

I hope this helps!
