Answer:

  • a[1] = -80
  • a[n] = -a[n-1]/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is -80, so the first part of the recursive definition is ...

  a[1] = -80

The common ratio is 20/-80 = -1/4, so the recursive rule is ...

  a[n] = (-1/4)a[n-1]

Richard borrowed $1,250 for two years at 14% a year under an add-on plan. He repaid the loan, including interest, in 24 equal pa
Sauron [17]
First you need to use the compound interest formula to work out the amount of money he had after those two years. To do this you have to make a multiplier for the 14% and you have to put the number of years to the power of the multiplier and of course you need to times the original amount by the multiplier:
(100+14)/100 = 1.14 (making the multiplier)

1250*(1.14)^2 = 1624.5

Then you divide the 1624.5 by 24 to get the equal payments:
1624.5/24 = $67.6875 (rounded to $67.69)

Richard made payments of $67.69 24 times to pay off the loan he had taken out.

Hope this helps! :)

The radius of a fully inflated soccer ball is 4.5 inches. After using the ball for a game, the match referee, Jason, measured th
forsale [732]
The volume of a sphere is:

V=(4pr^3)/3 so the initial volumes is:

Vi=(4p*4.5^3)/3=121.5p in^3 (before match, approx 381.7 in^3)

Vf=(4p*4.4^3)/3=340.736p/3  (after match, approx 356.8 in^3

Vf-Vi=24.9 in^3

So the ball lost about 24.9 in^3 of air during the match...
