Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the expression

F(n + 1) = F(n) -3

>> f(n+1)-f(n) = -3

f(n) = f(n+1) + 3

f(4)- f(3) = -3

f(4) + 3 = f(3)

22 + 3 = 25 = f(3)

Similarly ; f(2) = f(3) + 3 = 25 + 3 = 28

f(1)= f(2) + 3 = 28 + 3 = 31

marin [14]

Answer:

option.D

Step-by-step explanation:

each day it changes by $-73\frac{1}{4}$

so for two days , the elevation becomes $-73\frac{1}{4}$ + $-73\frac{1}{4}$

for 3 days : $-73\frac{1}{4}$ + $-73\frac{1}{4}$ + $-73\frac{1}{4}$

so, for n days, $-73\frac{1}{4}$ + ........ n times

= n* $-73\frac{1}{4}$

therefore, for x days, elevation = x* $-73\frac{1}{4}$

as it is given that after certain days this elevation has reached $-366\frac{1}{4}$

so, x* $-73\frac{1}{4}$ = $-366\frac{1}{4}$

Beth is taking out a loan to purchase a new home. She is financing $50,000 for 25 years at an interest rate of 14.25%. What is h

kozerog [31]

The present value (PV) of a loan for n years at r% compounded t times a year where there is equal P periodic payments is given by:

$PV=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ \frac{r}{t} \left)^{-nt}}{ \frac{r}{t} } \right)$

Given that <span>Beth is taking out a loan of PV = $50,000 to purchase a new home for n = 25 years at an interest rate of r = 14.25%. Since she is making the payment monthly, t = 12.

Her monthly payment is given by:

$50,000=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ \frac{0.1425}{12} \right)^{-25\times12}}{ \frac{0.1425}{12} } \right) \\ \\ =P\left( \frac{1-(1+0.011875)^{-300}}{ 0.011875 } \right)=P\left( \frac{1-(1.011875)^{-300}}{ 0.011875 } \right) \\ \\ =P\left( \frac{1-0.028969}{ 0.011875 } \right)=P\left( \frac{0.971031}{ 0.011875 } \right)=81.770994P \\ \\ \therefore P= \frac{50,000}{81.770994} =\$611.46$

Therefore, her monthly payment is about $611.50

Can someone please help me with math

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

they want us to find the equation in slope intercept form

which is y= mx + b

where m = slope and b = y intercept

the slope is change in y over change in x

as y goes up 1 x goes up 1 so the slope is 1 or m=1

the y intercept is at point (0,1)

so the y intercept is 1

now we add it all together and get that the equation Is

y=x+1
