Exponential decay is given by the equation
F = P(1 - r)^t
0.5 = 1(1 - 0.092)^t
0.5 = (0.908)^t
log 0.5 = log (0.908)^t
log 0.5 = t * log 0.908
t = (log 0.5)/(log 0.908)
t = 7.18
Answer: 7.2 years
In all you have 54 buttons because if you add 10 plus 10 that equals 20 plus 34 and that gets 54 buttons in all
Answer:the nth term of the sequence, Tn= -3n +12
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic progression is given as
Tn= a+ (n-1) d
where a= first term
and d = common difference
In this sequence, 9, 6 ,3 ,0, -3, -6 we can see that the number is decreasing by 3
The first term, a= 9
and common difference, d = -3
using our formulae
Tn= a+ (n-1) d
Tn= 9 + ( n-1) -3
Tn=9- 3n+ 3
Tn= -3n +12
Answer:
Below, depends if 27 is term number 1 or term number 0. Answered for both cases.
Step-by-step explanation:
The most common sequences are arithmetic and geometric, so lets check those first.
Arithmetic first since its the easiest.
to go from 27 to 21 we subtract 6, if we subtract 6 from 21 again we get to 15, which is what we need, so it is indeed arithmetic.
Explicit formula is basically of the form of y=mx+b with an arithmetic sequence. the m is the common difference and b is the first term minus the common difference. so lets fill those in. y = -6x + 33
Then it usually has n as the x and y f(n) so we'll just put those in
f(n) = -6n + 33
This si as long as the first term is labeled as term number 1 and not term number 0. if you have 27 as term 0 instead just make 33 back to 27, so f(n) = -6n + 27
Let me know if this doesn't make sense.
