Answer:

1.97 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 per year,

Then, solve the equation for t

t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]

t = ln(17,500.00/15,000.00) / ( 2 × [ln(1 + 0.08/2)] )

t = ln(17,500.00/15,000.00) / ( 2 × [ln(1 + 0.04)] )

t = 1.965 years

the scale on a map is stated as 1:250000 two villages are 9 cm apart on the map how far from each other are the two villages in
Karolina [17]

Answer:

22.5 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is

1:250,000

That means

1 unit on a map represent 250,000 units in the actual

or

1 cm on a map represent 250,000 cm in the actual

or

1 cm on a map represent 2,500 m in the actual

or

1 cm on a map represent 2,5 km in the actual

therefore

using proportion

Find out how much represent 9 cm apart on the map

\frac{1}{2.5}\ \frac{cm}{km}=\frac{9}{x}\ \frac{cm}{km}\\\\x=9(2.5)\\\\x=22.5\ km

Write an explicit formula for a_n, the nth term of the sequence 4, -20, 100, ...
saw5 [17]

Answer:

a_{n} = 4 (-5)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms , that is

r = - 20 ÷ 4 = 100 ÷ - 20 = - 5

This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term ( explicit formula )

a_{n} = a₁ (r)^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 4 and r = - 5 , then

a_{n} = 4 (-5)^{n-1}
