A(n) = –3 • 2⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾
for n = 1 , A₁ = -3.(2)⁰ = -3
for n = 2 , A₂ = -3.(2)¹ = -6
for n = 3 , A₃ = -3.(2)² = -12
for n = 4 , A₄ = -3.(2)³ = -24
...........................................
for n = 8 , A₈ = -3.(2)⁷ = -384
Answer=15X
$45/3 hours = $15/hour
(b) To see how much Louis makes per hour, simply plug in 1 for the hours value x:
y = 12(1 hours)
y = $12/hour
Thus Carl makes more than Louis.
(c) The equation of Carl's dollars per hour is similar to Louis':
Assuming that he doesn't pay taxes on what he owes, then his remaining balance to pay is $819.48. I hope this helped.
