Answer:

(C)The common ratio is –2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given sequence: </u>

2.4, –4.8, 9.6, –19.2

This is not AP as the difference in terms is not common

<u>This is GP with the common ratio of -2 as:</u>

-19.2/9.6 = 9.6/ -4/8 = -4.8/2.4 = -2

Correct choice is (C)

Gina puts $ 4500 into an account earning 7.5% interest compounded continuously. How long will it take for the amount in the acco

Elza [17]

$~~~~~~ \textit{Continuously Compounding Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=Pe^{rt}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill & \$5150\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$4500\\ r=rate\to 7.5\%\to \frac{7.5}{100}\dotfill &0.075\\ t=years \end{cases}$

$5150=4500e^{0.075\cdot t} \implies \cfrac{5150}{4500}=e^{0.075t}\implies \cfrac{103}{90}=e^{0.075t} \\\\\\ \log_e\left( \cfrac{103}{90} \right)=\log_e(e^{0.075t})\implies \log_e\left( \cfrac{103}{90} \right)=0.075t \\\\\\ \ln\left( \cfrac{103}{90} \right)=0.075t\implies \cfrac{\ln\left( \frac{103}{90} \right)}{0.075}=t\implies\stackrel{\textit{about 1 year and 291 days}}{ 1.8\approx t}$
