Part 3

Checking account A has a monthly fee of $16 and a per-check fee of $0.08

If she writes x checks, where x is some nonnegative whole number, then she is charged an additional 0.08x dollars on top of the 16 dollar fee.

The total cost of checking account A is 0.08x+16 dollars.

The total cost of account B is 0.12x dollars for similar reasoning. We don't have a monthly fee, but the cost per check is higher.

Set the two expressions equal to one another to get your answer.

Answer:  0.08x+16 = 0.12x

==============================================

Part 4

Let's solve the equation we set up in part 3

0.08x+16 = 0.12x

16 = 0.12x-0.08x

16 = 0.04x

0.04x = 16

x = 16/0.04

x = 400

If Cecily wrote 400 checks per month, then the cost of each account would be the same.

For account A, it would cost her 0.08*x+16 = 0.08*400+16 = 48 dollars

For account B, it would cost her 0.12*x = 0.12*400 = 48 dollars.

Answer: 400 checks per month

What is the first term in a geometric sequence if the common ratio is − 2 and the sum of the first six terms is −105?
Serggg [28]
\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
r=-2\\
n=6\\
S_6=-105
\end{cases}

\bf -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(-2)^6}{1-(-2)} \right)\implies -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(64)}{1+2} \right)
\\\\\\
-105=a_1\left( \cfrac{-63}{3} \right)\implies -105=a_1(-21)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-105}{-21}=a_1\implies 5=a_1
