we know that a₁ = 1, and aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + 2, is another way of saying, we add 2 to get the next term, namely, 2 is the common difference.

So basically, the first question after the word problem is asking you to write an equation to represent the value of Mama's car after a certain amount of years (t). Since the value of her car decreases by 3% each year, you could multiply 3% by the original value of her car, to find what 3% is, OR you could subtract 19,400 (the value of her car after 1 year) from 20,000 INSTEAD of multiplying 20,000 by 3%.
Equation: value=20,000 - 600t
To answer the next question, just plug it into the equation you created.
500<20,000 - 600t
-19500< -600t
32.5>t
Final Answer: It would take at least 32 and 1/2 years for the value of Mama's car to be less than $500.
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the sample, "52% of registered voters plan on voting for Robert Smith with a margin of error of plus or minus3%." The margin of error was based on a 95% confidence level.
Then 95% Confidence Interval is between 49% and 55%. Since confidence interval also includes non-majority proportions, the assumption that "95% confidence, Robert Smith will win the election" cannot be made.
The way to find the area of a triangle is A=
if the base is 3 feet longer then the height we can write it like this B=H+3
now we can add it to our area equation
20=
20=

=
h=3.2ft
The answer to 6 to the 4th power is 6•6•6•6=1,296
