Answer:

± 60

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = a₁ * rⁿ⁻¹

a₇ = 30 = a₁ * r⁷⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁶     (1)

a₅ = 120 = a₁ * r⁵⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁴     (2)

(1)/(2): 30/120 = 1/4 = r²

r = ± 1/2   or ± 0.5

a₁ = a₇/r⁶ = 30/0.5⁶ = 1920

a₆ = 1920 * (± 1/2)⁶⁻¹ = 1920 * ± 1/32 = ± 60

The table of values of the function y = 2x^2 is:

x  0   1   2   3   4

y  0   2  8   18   32

<h3>How to complete the table?</h3>

The equation of the function is given as:

y = 2x^2

When x= 0, we have

y = 2 * 0^2 = 0

When x= 1, we have

y = 2 * 1^2 = 2

When x= 2, we have

y = 2 * 2^2 = 8

When x= 3, we have

y = 2 * 3^2 = 18

When x= 4, we have

y = 2 * 4^2 = 32

So, the table of values is:

x  0   1   2   3   4

y  0   2  8   18   32

X-70/x&lt;-3 solve for x under the assumption that x&gt;0
Virty [35]

<span>Simplifying 0x + 7 + 5x = 2x + 30 + 40 Anything times zero is zero. 0x + 7 + 5x = 2x + 30 + 40 Combine like terms: 0 + 7 = 7 7 + 5x = 2x + 30 + 40 Reorder the terms: 7 + 5x = 30 + 40 + 2x Combine like terms: 30 + 40 = 70 7 + 5x = 70 + 2x Solving 7 + 5x = 70 + 2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. 7 + 5x + -2x = 70 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x 7 + 3x = 70 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 7 + 3x = 70 + 0 7 + 3x = 70 Add '-7' to each side of the equation. 7 + -7 + 3x = 70 + -7 Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0 0 + 3x = 70 + -7 3x = 70 + -7 Combine like terms: 70 + -7 = 63 3x = 63 Divide each side by '3'. x = 21 Simplifying x = 21</span>

Savings account A and savings account B both offer APRs of 5%, but savings account A compounds interest semiannually, while savi
Tamiku [17]

C. Savings account B because it has more compounding periods per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Savings account A has an APR of 5% which compounds interest semiannually. This means that savings account A compounds twice in a year. If account A compounds 5% a time, it would compound 5(2) = 10% in a single year.

Step 2:

Savings account B also has an APR of 5% which compounds interest quarterly. This means that savings account B compounds four times in a year. If account B compounds 5% a time, it would compound 5(4) = 20% in a single year.

Step 3:

Savings account A gets an interest of 5% a year while savings account B gets an interest of 10% so account B offers a higher APR because of more compoundings in a year.
