Answer:
an=1*2.5^(n-1)
=2.5^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question below:
What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio? Lena is asked to write an explicit formula for the graphed geometric sequence. On a coordinate plane, 3 points are plotted. The points are (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).
Solution
Point (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).
a=1
ar=2.5
ar^2=6.25
From ar and ar^2
r=6.25/2.5
=2.5
r=2.5
an=ar^(n-1)
Therefore, the explicit formula is
an=1*2.5^(n-1)
=2.5^(n-1)
3. Credit Card: (1842.66 - 250) (.145/12) = $19.24
Savings: 250(0.04/12) = $0.83
Difference = 19.24 - 0.83 = $18.41
4. Credit Card: (1842.66 - 500) (.145/12) = $16.22
You will save $18.41 - $16.22 = $2.19 by putting all $500 toward the higher credit card rate.
