Answer: A, C, and E! I just took this on Khan Academy! Please mark me brainliest because it it correct!
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
first term a= 2
last term tn= 32
common ratio r= -2
number of terms
= tn=ar^n-1
32 = 2*(-2)^n-1
divide both sides by 2
32/2 = 2*(-2)^n-1/2
16 = (-2)^n-1
Then...use 16 in the power of 2
(-2)^4 = (-2)^n-1
The bases (-2), cancels out
so we have: 4 = n-1
collect like terms
4-1 = n
3 = n
n= 3
Markup = $4
b) markup as a percentage of cost is 33.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
Markup
markup = selling price - cost
= $13 - 9
... markup = $3
Markup as a Percentage of Cost
To find the percent markup, divide the markup by the reference value and multiply the ratio by 100%. The reference value for markup is usually cost price, but sometimes may be selling price.
... markup / cost × 100% = 3/9×100% = 33 1/3% ≈ 33.3%
Geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that have a common ratio between them.
Either 1, or 2, smart ppl help!
