Answer:

$673.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount = $660

1% Increase = $660*(1+1%)

1% Increase = $660+$6.6

1% Increase = $666.6

Further 1% Increase = $666.6*(1+1%)

Further 1% Increase = $666.6 + $6.666

Further 1% Increase = $673.266

Further 1% Increase = $673.27

What is the recursive rule for the sequence 2, -1, 1/2 , -1/4

Helga [31]

Answer:

$a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}$

$a_1=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive rule is a term defined in terms of other terms in the sequence.

The is a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio.

The common ratio can be found by dividing a term by previous term.

For example, all of these are equal:

$\frac{-1}{2}$

$\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-1}$

$\frac{\frac{-1}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}$

They are all equal to $\frac{-1}{2}$ .

So we are saying:

$\frac{\text{term}}{\text{previous term}}}=\frac{-1}{2}$

More formally:

$\frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}=\frac{-1}{2}$ .

Multiply both sides by $a_{n-1}$ :

$a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}$

When doing recursive form, you need to state a term of the sequence (or more depending on the recursive form you have).

So the first term is 2.

So the full thing for the answer is:

$a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}$

$a_1=2$

Find the exact value of cos 120° in simplest form with a rational denominator.

IRINA_888 [86]

Given:

cos 120°

To find:

The exact value of cos 120° in simplest form with a rational denominator.

Solution:

We have,

$\cos 120^\circ$

It can be written as

$\cos 120^\circ=\cos (90^\circ+30^\circ)$

$\cos 120^\circ=-\sin 30^\circ$ $[\because \cos (90^\circ-\theta)=-\sin \theta]$

$\cos 120^\circ=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)$ $[\because \sin 30^\circ=\dfrac{1}{2}]$

$\cos 120^\circ=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the exact value of cos 120° is $-\dfrac{1}{2}$ .

How is the Pythagorean theorem related to the distance formula?

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The distance formula is a formalization of the Pythagorean Theorem using (x,y) . They are the same thing (but the distance formula is for working out the distance between two points and Pythagoras theorem is for working out the missing length in a right-angled triangle) in two different contexts.
