Answer: 96 / 4 ^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence with a first term of 96. The common ratio is the division of the 2nd term by the first term. This will be:

24/96 = 1/4

a = 96

r = 1/4

The formula will be:

ar ^n-1

= 96 × (1/4)^n-1

The concluding part is explained in the attached file.

Answer:

$x=\frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(0)} }{2(3)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula: $x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ when the equation is $0=ax^2+bx+c$

The given equation is $1=-2x+3x^2+1$ . Let's first arrange this so its format looks like $y=ax^2+bx+c$ :

$1=-2x+3x^2+1$

$1=3x^2-2x+1$

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

$1-1=3x^2-2x+1-1\\0=3x^2-2x+0$

Now, we can easily identify 3 as a, -2 as b and 0 as c. Plug these into the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\x=\frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(0)} }{2(3)}$

I hope this helps!

Joe Popoff, a collection agent, collected 90% of a debt of $5,600.00 that had been overdue 90 days. This collection rate was 5%

sergey [27]

<span>You are given the debt collected by Joe Popoff with a 90% of a debt of $5,600.00 that had been overdue 90 days. This collection rate was 5% more than the average collection rate for that agent. The agent charged 25% commission. You are asked to find the net proceeds.

Amount collected
= $5,600 * 0.90
= $5,040

Commision
= $5,040 * 0.25
= $1,260

Net Proceeds
= $5,040 - $1,260
= $3,780 </span>
