Answer:

The first term of the sequence is -120.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:

an = a0*r^(n-1)

Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:

a0*r^(n-1) = an

a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]

We then apply the data given to us

a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]

a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120

The first term of the sequence is -120.

24)The table represents some points on the graph of a linear function. Which function represents the same relationship?
Andru [333]

Answer:

A) D) g(x) = 2x - 8

2) B) y = 3/4x - 1 and y = -4/3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

In the table, we have the points

(5, 2)

(7, 6)

(9, 10)

(10, 12)

This seems to be a linear relationship, so let's try that:

A linear relationship can be written as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept.

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

If we use the first two points, we get the slope:

a = (6 - 2)/(7 - 5) = 4/2 = 2

if we use the first and last point, we get the slope:

a = (12 - 2)/(10 - 5) = 10/5 = 2

Then we can conclude that this is a linear relationship with a slope equal to 2.

y = 2*x + b

To find the value of b, we can just replace any of the points of the data table in the equation, for example, i will use the point (5, 2).

this means that x = 5, and  y = 2.

2 = 2*5 + b

2 = 10 + b

2 - 10 = b

-8 = b

Then the equation is:

y = 2*x - 8

the correct option is: D) g(x) = 2x - 8

2) Here we have two lines, notice that we can with just looking at the image, know the y-intercept of each line.

The one with a positive slope (grows to the right) has a y-intercept = - 1.

The one with a negative slope (grows to the left) has a y-intercept =  9.

The two options that match this condition are:

B) y = 3/4x - 1 and y = -4/3x + 9

C) y = 3/4x - 1 and y = -3/4x + 9

Where the only difference is the slope of the black line.

so et's check which slope matches that line.

In the graph we can see that it passes through the points:

(0, 9) and the point (6, 1)

Then the slope is:

a = (1 - 9)/(6 - 0) = -8/6 = -4/3

Then the correct option is where the negative slope is -4/3, that one is

B) y = 3/4x - 1 and y = -4/3x + 9

Marcia has two credit cards and would like to consolidate the two balances into one balance on the card with the lower interest
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The amount save by Marcia in interest by consolidating the two balances is $133.92.

<h3>What is the total payment for APR of 16%?</h3>

The total monthly payment for APR of 16% is calculated as follows;

Total monthly payments for 16% =$39.38x48 = $1890.24

<h3>What is the total payment for APR of  12%?</h3>

Total monthly payments for 12% APR = $36.59*48 = $1756.32

<h3>Amount saved by Marcia</h3>

A = $1890.24 - $1756.32

A = $133.92
