The question as presented is incomplete, here is the complete question with the multiple choice:
The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an − 1 can also be
written as:
1) an = 6 ⋅ 3^n
2) an = 6 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
3) an = 2 ⋅ 3^n
4) an = 2 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
The correct choice is option 3) an = 2⋅3^n.
If we look at the initial sequence an = 3⋅an-1, and
a1 = 3⋅a0 = 6
a0 = 6/3
a0 = 2
We can now look at the sequence.
a0 = 2
a1 = 6
a2 = 18
a3 = 54
etc...
A common factor in each of those numbers is 2, so we can rewrite the sequence by factoring out 2.
a0 = 2⋅1
a1 = 2⋅3
a2 = 2⋅9
a3 = 2⋅27
The numbers being multiplied by 2 are all factors of 3. So we can rewrite the sequence again as:
a0 = 2⋅3^0
a1 = 2⋅3^1
a2 = 2⋅3^2
a3 = 2⋅3^3
This sequence can now be rewritten as an = 2⋅3^n.
Answer: $9
Step-by-step explanation: The maturity value of a loan is the total amount you must repay, including the principal and any interest you incur. The term of the loan is the time for which it has been granted.
Answer:
0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
0.6 is extremely high
A.
For 12 - 1,
82 - 78 = 4 degrees per hour
For 1 - 3:15,
(88 - 82) / 2.25 = 2.67 degrees per hour
For 3:15 - 4:30,
(93 - 88) / 1.25 = 4 degrees per hour
For 4:30 to 6,
(91 - 93) / 1.5 = 1.33 degrees per hour
The time intervals 12 to 1 and 3:15 to 4 had the fastest rate of change
