Answer:
182 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Time taken for first lap is 50 seconds and each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous
Solution:
Time taken for first lap = 50 sec
For second lap
Each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous
Previous lap time = 50 sec
second lap = 50 + 20% of 50
second lap 
second lap 
second lap 
For third lap
Each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous
Previous lap time = 60 sec
Third lap = 60 + 20% of 60
Time taken for 3 laps is equal to sum of all three laps time.
Therefore, it takes 182 seconds (3 min, 2 seconds) to run three laps
For this case we have the following equation:
y = 150 * (1.06) ^ t
For the first month we have:
y = 150 * (1.06) ^ 1
y = 159 $
For the second month we have:
y = 150 * (1.06) ^ 2
y = 168.54 $
For the third month we have:
y = 150 * (1.06) ^ 1
y = 178.65 $
Answer:
d. $ 159.00 + $ 168.54 + $ 178.65
Answer:
a6 = -3072
Step-by-step explanation:
Put 6 where n is and do the arithmetic.
Since the form of your function looks like it is trying to describe a geometric sequence, we assume you actually mean ...
an = 3(-4)^(n-1)
So, for n=6, this has the value ...
a6 = 3(-4)^(6-1) = 3(-1024)
a6 = -3072
_____
Same deal if you really mean
an = -12n -1
a6 = -12(6) -1 = -73
