Answer:
first term (a)= 2
second term (b) = -8
common ratio (r) = -8/2 = -4
15th term = ar^ (n-1)
= 2* (-4)^ 14 =536870912
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 286 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
x : # of months that has gone by
0.24x : cost of the 24 cent plan after "x" minutes
39.95 + 0.10x : cost of the 10 cent plan after "x" minutes
1. 39.95 + 0.10x > 0.24x
2. 39.95 > 0.24x - 0.10x
3. 39.95 > 0.14x
4. 285.36 > x
x must be AT LEAST 286 minutes for plan #2 (39.95 + 0.10x) to be a better deal
Answer:
100r^4 + 400r^3 + 600r^2 + 400r + 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Expanding ( r + 1 )^4 gives :-
r^4 + 4r^3 + 6r^2 + 4r + 1
So multiplying 100 with r^4 + 4r^3 + 6r^2 + 4r + 1 gives :-
100r^4 + 400r^3 + 600r^2 + 400r + 100
2/3(6c+4)-(8c-5)
1) Get rid of the negative signs
New equation (the ones in bold are the changes): 2/3(6c+4)+(-8c)+(5)
2) Use distributive property for the first part by multiplying 2/3*6c= 4c and 2/3*4= 2 2/3
New equation: 4c+2 2/3+ (-8c) + 5
3) Combine like terms: 4c+(-8c)= -4c and 2 2/3+5= 7 2/3
New and simplified equation: -4c+ 7 2/3
