This is a geometric sequence, so use the formula for the sum of a geometric sequence:
Sum = (a(r^n - 1))/(r - 1)
where a is the first term, -5
r is the common ratio, 5
and n is the number of terms
Thus,
Sum = ((-5)(5^6 - 1))/(5-1) = -19530
Answer:
Nat's salary after 3 years = 976562.5 $
Explanation:
Salary of Nat = $500,000
Raise in salary for next three years = 25 % = 0.25
Salary of Nat after 1 year = 500,000 + 0.25 * 500,000 = 625000 $
Salary of Nat after 2 years = 625000 + 0.25 * 625000 = 781250 $
Salary of Nat after 3 years = 781250 + 0.25 * 781250 = 976562.5 $
So, Nat's salary after 3 years = 976562.5 $
Easy Method;
No of years considering = 3
Initial salary = $500,000
Rate of increase = 0.25
Final salary
$
Nat's salary after 3 years = 976562.5 $
You will at 7 to both sides and then divide 2 on both sides to find x. :)
2x-7=3
+7=+7
—————
2x = 10

2 2
X = 5
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The pattern is square numbers so
1, 4, 9, 16, 25
17.94
Because 15% of $6 is .9 so
2.6x6.9=17.94
