x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:


or

Since both sides have the same base, we can write
10x = 5x - 5
or
5x = -5
x = -1

Answer: $4,331
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that the question meant 5.2% not 52% as this is quite excessive.
Katherine after 13 years.
Convert the variables;
n = 13 years = 13 * 365 = 4,745 days
r = 5.2% = 5.2/365 = 5.2/365%
Future value = P * ( 1 + r)^n
= 86,000 * (1 + 5.2/365%)⁴⁷⁴⁵
= $169,068
Michael after 13 years;
If compounded continuously, the formula is;
Future value = Pe^rt
= 86,000 * e⁰.⁰⁵ ˣ ¹³
= $164,737
Difference = 169,068 - 164,737
= $4,331
Answer:
1. 15
2. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The two sequence are geometric progression GP, because they follow a constant multiple (common ratio)
The nth term of a GP is;
Tn = ar^(n-1)
Where;
a = first term
r = common ratio
For the first sequence;
The common ratio r is
r = T3/T2 = 540/90 = 6
r = 6
T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar
T2 = 90 = ar
Substituting the values of r;
90 = a × 6
a = 90/6
a = 15
First term = 15
2. The sam method applies here.
Common ratio r = T3/T2 = 128/32 = 4
r = 4
T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar
T2 = 32 = ar
Substituting the values of r;
32 = a × 4
a = 32/4
a = 8
First term = 8
