<span>Area of circular metal=πr^2
=3.14 x 3.5 x 3.5 m^2
now,
total cost=area x rate
=3.14 x 3.5 x 3.5 x 3.25 $
=125.01 $</span>
The third choice is appropriate.
an = 5 - 3(n - 1); all integers n ≥ 1
_____
This equation follows the form for the general term of an arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + d(n - 1)
where a1 is the first term (corresponding to n=1), and d is the common difference. From the problem statement, a1 = 5 and d = 2 - 5 = -3.
Squaring a number means you're multiplying the number by itself. This would mean (6b)^2 = (6b)(6b).
