Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term = a+d(n-1) =25+5(n-1) = 25+5n-5 = 20+5n

300 = 20 + 5n

5n = 280

n = 56

since 300 is the last term in the sequence, the total number would be 36

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

clearly, the sequence is built by adding 5 for every new term.

so, an = an-1 + 5

a1 = 25 (the starting value)

a2 = a1 + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30

a3 = a2 + 5 = a1 + 5 + 5 = a1 + 2×5 = 25 + 10 = 35

...

an = an-1 + 5 = a1 + (n-1)×5

now, we know, the last term is 300.

when we determine for which n we get an = 300, we know that n is the number of terms in the sequence.

so,

300 = a1 + (n-1)×5 = 25 + 5n - 5 = 20 + 5n

280 = 5n

n = 56

a56 = 300

so, we have 56 terms in this sequence

2/3=1.2/x solve for x

Anvisha [2.4K]

First isolate x by multiplying by x on both sides. It will look like this:

(2/3)x=1.2

Then devise by (2/3) on both sides to get:

x= 1.2/(2/3)

The easiest way to get this is plug that into a calculator and get the answer:

x=1.8

According to Okun's law, if the unemployment rate goes from 5% to 3%, what will be the effect on the GDP?

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

D. It will increase by 1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$u_1 = 5\%$ --- initial rate

$u_2 = 3\%$ --- final rate

Required

The effect on the GDP

To calculate this, we make use of:

$\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = u_1 - 2\triangle u$

This gives:

$\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 2(5\% - 3\%)$

$\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 2(2\%)$

$\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 4\%$

$\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 1\%$

<em>This implies that the GDP will increase by 1%</em>
