Let 3<em>n</em> + 1 denote the "number" in question. The claim is that
(3<em>n</em> + 1)² = 3<em>m</em> + 1
for some integer <em>m</em>.
Now,
(3<em>n</em> + 1)² = (3<em>n</em>)² + 2 (3<em>n</em>) + 1²
… = 9<em>n</em>² + 6<em>n</em> + 1
… = 3<em>n</em> (3<em>n</em> + 2) + 1
… = 3<em>m</em> + 1
where we take <em>m</em> = <em>n</em> (3<em>n</em> + 2).

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
what are the options
an = a1r^(n-1)
a5 = a1 r^(5-1)
-6 =a1 r^4
a2 = a1 r^(2-1)
-48 = a1 r
divide
-6 =a1 r^4
---------------- yields 1/8 = r^3 take the cube root or each side
-48 = a1 r 1/2 = r
an = a1r^(n-1)
an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)
-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1
divide by 1/2
-96 = a1
an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)
the sum
Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]
S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]
=-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]
= 192 * [-131071/131072]
approximately -192
Answer: A) $120,953
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to calculate the compound amount (semi-annually):-
, where P is principal amount , r is rate of interest and n is the number of time periods.
Given : Principal amount : P= $90,000
Rate of interest : 6% per annum = 0.06 per annum
Time period : n= 5 years
Hence, the ABC will have $ 120,953 in the account after five years if interest is reinvested.
