So 9x<18 can be factored out into
9(x)<9(2)
you can divide both sides by 9
x<2
so the solution is any number more than 2, but not 2
1/4 is one of the fractions
Principal: $49,000
Depreciation Rate: 50%
Depreciation Time: 5 years
Exponential Function: y = 49,000 (0.50)^x
Plug it in: y = 49,000 (0.50)^4
0.5^4= 0.0625
0.0625 x 49,000 = 3062.5
Value of Car after 20 years: 3062.5
Now, we need to find out how much the car decreases in ONE year.
Half of 3062.5 = 1531.25
1531.25/5 = 306.25
3062.5 - 306.25 = 2756.25
Value of car after 21 years: $2756 ---> 2800 (nearest hundred dollars my bad)
Hope this helps! Have a great day!
we have that
−4+8−16+32−.....
a1=-2*(-2)-----> -4
a2=-4*(-2)-----> +8
a3=+8*(-2)-----> -16
a4=-16*(-2)----> +32
a5=+32*(-2)----> -64
a6=-64*(-2)-----> +128
a7=+128*(-2)-----> -256
The sum of the first 7 terms of the series is
<span>[a1+a2+a3+a4+a5+a6+a7]-----> [-4+8-16+32-64+128-256]------->
-172</span>
<span>
the answer is -172</span>
