Question

Jamal puts $100 in an account that does not earn any interest. Every month after that, he deposits the same amount of money. This sequence represents his account balance for the first few months. $100, $125, $150, What is the explicit formula in function form for the amount of money in his account at the beginning of month n?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tn = 75+25n

Step-by-step explanation:

The balance are in arithmetic progression

$100, $125, $150...

The formula for calculating the nth term of the sequence is expressed as;

Tn = a+(n-1)d

a =100

d = 125 - 100 = 150 - 125

d = 25

n is the number of terms

Substitute

Tn = 100+(n-1)*25

Tn = 100 + 25n-25

Tn = 75+25n

Hence the nth term of the sequence is Tn = 75+25n
