5 - 7 = - 2 ;
- 2 - 7 = - 9 ;
-9 - 7 = -16 ;
"common difference" d is - 7 ;
The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is of the form <span>an = a1 + (n – 1)d ;
</span>a50 = 5 + 49 × ( - 7 ) = 5 - 343 = - 338;
Answer:
The indifference point is 100 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Plan a cost $23 plus an additional $.08 for each minute of calls.
Plan B cost $19 an additional $.12 for each minute of calls.
<u>First, we need to establish the total cost formula for each plan:</u>
Plan A= 23 + 0.08*x
Plan B= 19 + 0.12*x
x= number of minutes
<u>Now, to calculate the indifference point, we equal both formulas and isolate x:</u>
23 + 0.08x = 19 + 0.12x
4 = 0.04x
100= x
The indifference point is 100 minutes.
<u>Prove:</u>
Plan A= 23 + 0.08*100= $31
Plan B= 19 + 0.12*100= $31
In this case, A is 
and B is 
, so:
Hope that helps!
