Answer:
an = -6*(1/4)^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the recursive formula for the given geometric sequence is:
a1 = -6
an = (an-1) * (1/4)
With the above we can assume that:
r = 1/4
following the rule of the explicit formula that is given by:
an = a1 * (r) ^ (n-1)
we substitute and we have:
an = -6 * (1/4) ^ (n-1)
Therefore the explicit formula from the given data would be:
an = -6 * (1/4) ^ (n-1)

There are 205 coins in a jar all of which are either nickles or quarters . The vaule of the coin in the jar is $31.85. if both o
Gnesinka [82]

Answer: There are 97 nickels and 108 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of nickels, y = Number of quarters.

As per given,

x+y = 205    ...(i)

0.05x+0.25y = 31.85 ... (ii)    [1 nickel = $0.05, 1 quarter = $ 0.25]

Multiply (ii) by 20, we get

x+5y=637   ...(iii)

Eliminate (i) from (iii)

4y = 432

⇒ y = 108 [Divide both sides by 4]

Put value of y in (i), we get

108+x=205\Rightarrow\ x= 97

Hence, there are 97 nickels and 108 quarters.

Tell whether the sequence is arithmetic. If it is, what is the common difference?
Ilya [14]
The answer is B. Yes; 4

Arithmetic sequence is the type of sequence of numbers which difference between each number will always remain constant
in the sequence above we could see the difference between one number with another is exactly 4:

15 + 4 = 19

19 + 4 = 23

23 + 4 = 27

A new video game is expected to sell 100 copies the first hour at a local game store. After that, the sales will follow the func
Mazyrski [523]
To answer this you need to make simple thought experiment. Since the number of sales after time passes cannot go negative (note that rate at which copies are sold can drop over time but total number cannot) that means that you are adding number of sales at first hour and during first hour.

first option cannot be the answer because you are subtracting 100 copies to total number of sold copies which is not logical.

The answer is D)   s(x) = 100 + 12(x-1)
after 1 hour (if you replace x with 1 in equation above) you will get 100 copies which matches conditions in the text.

Is 7.8 cm, 1.1 cm, 9.1 cm a triangle
Anna35 [415]

Answer: The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. Since, 11 + 21 > 16, 11 + 16 > 21, and 16 + 21 > 11, you can form a triangle with side lengths 11 mm, 21 mm, and 16 mm.
