Answer: a(n) = 5 - 3n

the sequence has:

a1 = 2

a2 = -1

a3 = -7

.........

we can see that: a2 - a1 = a3 - a2 = -3

=> the sequence is a arithmetic sequence

=> the distance between the numbers is d = -3

because this sequence is a arithmetic sequence

=> a(n) = a1 + (n - 1)d = 2 + (n - 1).(-3) = 5 - 3n

A pole that is 3.1m tall casts a shadow that is 1.29m long. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 44.75m lo

Mkey [24]

Let b=height of building. By similar triangles we can say:

b/44.75=3.1/1.29

b=44.75*3.1/1.29

b≈107.54

b≈108 meters (to the nearest whole meter)

Marie is purchasing a $108,000 home with a 30 year ortgage at 5.25%. What is her monthly principal and interest payment

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Monthly interest rate is r=0,004375

Monthly principal c=590,625

Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly interest payment rate :

$r=\frac{5.25}{12}:100=0,0004375$

Now, we need to find monthly principal payment : $c=\frac{rP}{1-(1+r)^{-N}}$

Use this rule : $N=30*12=360$

P=108000

r=0,004375

$c=\frac{0.004375*108000}{1-(1+0.004375)^{-360}} =\frac{472.5}{0.8}=590,625$
