Notice that if you go forward, the common ratio is 5. Each new term is found by mult. the previous term by 5.
If, on the other hand, you go backwards (terms decreasing), then you divide a term to find what the previous term was.
Here, divide 1 by 5 to find the first term. It's 1/5.
<span>speed = distance/time
total time is 8 hours
outgoing speed is 160 km per hour,
so time = d/160
</span><span>returning speed is 240 km per hour,
so time = d/240
d/160 + d/240 = 8
3d/480 + 2d/480 = 8
5d/480 = 8
5d =480 (8)
5d = 3840
d=3840/5
d=768
answer: so the distance is 768 km</span>
Answer:
$18,087.23
Step-by-step explanation:
The future worth of the loan in 7 years compounded semiannually is computed as shown below using the future value formula adjusted for semiannual compounding:
FV=PV*(1+r/2)^n*2
FV is the worth of the loan in 7 years which is unknown
PV is the actual amount of loan which is $8,000
r is the rate of interest of 12%
n is the number of years of the loan which is 7 years
the 2 is to show that interest is computed twice a year
FV=8000*(1+12%/2)^7*2
FV=8000*(1+6%)^14
FV=8000*1.06^14=$18,087.23
