1525 ➗ 2 = 762.5
762.50 x 10% is 76.25
762.50 - 76.25 = 686.25
one paycheck is 762.50

which choice is the explicit formula for the following geometric sequence 0.5,-0.1, 0.02, -0.004, 0.0008

Hello,

Answer is C

$a_1=0.5=\dfrac{1}{2} \\\\a_2=-0.1=-\dfrac{1}{10} =a_1*(-\dfrac{2}{10} )=a_1*(-\dfrac{1}{5} )\\\\a_3=0.02=\dfrac{2}{10^2} =a_2*(-\dfrac{2}{10} )=a_2*(-\dfrac{1}{5} )=a_1*(-\dfrac{1}{5} )^2\\...\\a_n=a_1*(-\dfrac{1}{5} )^{n-1}\\\\\boxed{a_n=0.5*(-0.2)^{n-1}}\\$

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

She sells 4 loaves of key lime bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Extracting the key information from the question:

*** A baker uses 13 1/2 cups of flour to make key lime bread

*** She uses 2 1/4 cups to make each loaf.

*** She sells 2/3 of the loaves of bread that she makes.

Now, since she uses 2 1/4 to make each loaf, we will convert this into improper fraction.

2 1/4 = [(4×2)+1]/4 = 9/4

She uses a total of 13 1/2 cups of flour to make all loaves.

To find the number of loaves she makes, we will divide the overall quantity of flour used by the quantity used to make a loaf

13 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4

Since 13 1/2 and 2 1/4 are the same as 27/2 and 9/4 respectively (mixed to improper fractions), we will then divide 27/2 by 9/4

= 27/2 × 4/9 = 6 loaves (total bread she makes).

Again, we learnt she sells 2/3 of the total loaves she makes.

Since total = 6, then 2/3 of 6 is:

2/3 × 6 = 4 loaves .

Therefore, the baker sells 4 loaves of key lime bread.

What is the row echelon form of this matrix?

USPshnik [31]

The row echelon form of the matrix is presented as follows;

$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2 &-5 \\ 0& 1 & -7\\ 0&0 &1 \\\end{bmatrix}$

<h3>What is the row echelon form of a matrix?</h3>

The row echelon form of a matrix has the rows consisting entirely of zeros at the bottom, and the first entry of a row that is not entirely zero is a one.

The given matrix is presented as follows;

$\begin{bmatrix}-3 &6 &15 \\ 2& -6 & 4\\ 1&0 &-1 \\\end{bmatrix}$

The conditions of a matrix in the row echelon form are as follows;

There are row having nonzero entries above the zero rows.
The first nonzero entry in a nonzero row is a one.
The location of the leading one in a nonzero row is to the left of the leading one in the next lower rows.

Dividing Row 1 by -3 gives:

$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2 &-5 \\ 2& -6 & 4\\ 1&0 &-1 \\\end{bmatrix}$
