Answer: 14.2638366937

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term is multiplied by a number, called the common ratio, to get the next term.

So, if the first term of the geometric sequence is 10 and the common ratio is 0.3, the sequence would be 10, 0.3(10), 0.3 x 0.3 x 10... and so forth. This becomes:

10, 3, 0.9, 0.27, 0.081, 0.00243, 0.00729, 0.002187, 0.0006561, 0.00019683, 0.000059049, 0.0000177147...

You add these first 12 terms to get 14.2638366937.

The amphitheater has two types of tickets available, reserved seats and lawn seats. The maximum capacity of the venue is 20,000

Tema [17]

Let the number of reserved tickets = x

Let the number of lawn seats = y

Constraint functions:

Maximum capacity means $x+y\leq 20000$

For concert to be held $x+y\geq 5000$

$lawn seats\leq reserved$ means $y\leq x$

Objective functions :

Maximum profit equation p = 65x +40y

Intersection points :

(10000,10000) (20000,0)(2500,2500)(5000,0)

p at (10000,10000) = 65(10000) + 40(10000) = $1050000

p at (20000,0) = 65(20000) + 40(0) = $1300000

p at (2500,2500) = 65(2500) + 40(2500) = $262500

p at (5000,0) = 65(5000) + 40(0) = $325000

Hence maximum profit occurs when all 20000 reserved seats are sold and the profit is $1300000

Please find attached the graph of it.

What is the total amount for an investment of $1600 invested at 4.25% for 20 years and compounded continuously?

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

$3743.43

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount is given by the formula ...

A = Pe^(rt)

where P is the principal, r is the annual rate compounded continuously, and t is the number of years. Filling in the values, we get ...

A = $1600·e^(0.0425·20) = $1600·e^0.85

≈ $1600·2.33964685 ≈ $3743.43

The amount in the account will be $3743.43.
