Answer:
f(1) = 8
Common ratio: 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1) means the firs term in a sequence.
In the function f(n), represented by 8, 4, 2, 1, .., the first term is 8.
f(1) = 8
To find the common ratio, divide any term by the term before it.
We can use any two of the given terms in the sequence EXCEPT for 8 because it is the first term and does not have a term before it.
I choose to divide the second term by the first term:
4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5
477900 there you go use a calculator next time ;)
Given that the team starts with a score of 0, after skipping 8 turns they would have 8 points deducted and thus end up with a score of -8. Now if they guess 6 answers correctly this would add 6 points to their score and so they would end up with -8 + 6 = -2 points.
Answer:
60 guests
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll say that the number of guests is n.
We're looking for the n where both of these expressions are equal:
Company A (500 set-up fee, 25 for each guest)
500 + 25 * n
Company B (200 set-up fee, 30 for each guest)
200 + 30 * n
500 + 25n = 200 + 30n
Subtract 200 from both sides.
300 + 25n = 30n
Subtract 25n from both sides.
300 = 5n
We'll reverse the sides.
5n = 300
Divide both sides by 5.
n = 300/5 = 60
Thus, both companies are equal when n is 60, or when there are 60 guests.
