How many positive terms are in an arithmetic progression: 17.2; 17; 16.8

Mathematics

Fittoniya [83]3 years ago

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

a = first term = 17.2

tn = last term = 16.8

d= common difference = -0.2

n = number of terms = ?

To find the number of positive terms, we'll use the formula;

tn = a + (n - 1) d

Substituting the figures,

=> 16.8 = 17.2 + (n -1) -0.2

=> 16.8 - 17.2 = (n - 1) - 0.2

=> -0.4 = (n - 1) - 0.2

=> -0.4/-0.2 = n - 1

=> n - 1 = 2

=> n = 3

Therefore, the number of positive terms in the sequence is 3

Answer:

Job A is more profitable for nearly 49 months (or 50 months including the first month)

Job B is more profitable after 49 months (or 50 months including the first month).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of months passed after first month

<u>Job A:</u>

$2,000 for the first month with a $300 raise every month thereafter

Function describing this situation:

f(x)=2,000+300x

<u>Job B:</u>

$1,500 for the first month with a 5% raise every month thereafter

Function describing this situation:

g(x)=1,500\cdot (1+0.05)^x\\ \\g(x)=1,500\cdot 1.05^x

Plot both graphs (see attached diagram). The diagram shows that the job A is more profitable for nearly 49 months (or 50 months including the first month) and the job B is more profitable after 49 months (or 50 months including the first month).
