Answer:
The first four terms of the above sequence are 1, 6, 11, 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sequence is defined by the function f(n)=f(n-1)+5.
Where n represents the number of the term for n>1
First Put n = 2
f(2)=f(2-1)+5.
= f (1) + 5
= -4 + 5
= 1
Second Put n = 3
f(3)=f(3-1)+5.
= f (2) + 5
= 1 + 5
= 6
Third Put n = 4
f(4)=f(4-1)+5.
= f (3) + 5
= 6+ 5
= 11
Second Put n = 5
f(5)=f(5-1)+5.
= f (4) + 5
= 11 + 5
= 16
Therefore the first four terms of the above sequence are 1, 6, 11, 16.
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a plane is 2 dimensional surface that extends infinitely far.
The number of points required to define a plane = 3
Here , we have 4 points A, B, C, and D.
So, the number of possible combinations of 3 points to make a plane from 4 points = 
[
]
Hence, the greatest number of planes determined using any three of the points A, B, C, and D if no three points are collinear = 4.
20% is the amount takin off of the sofa
Alright, so you have the basic formula- good.
You have the A value (400), the interest rate r (7.5% -> .075 in decimal), and the final P value (8500). So, we only need to solve for t.
8500 = (400)(1+.075)^t
/400 /400
21.25 = 1.075^t
logarithms are the inverse of exponents, basically, if you have an example like
y = b^x, then a logarithm inverts it, logy(baseb)=x
Makes sense if you consider a power of ten.
1000 = 10^3
if you put logbase10(1000), you'll get 3.
Anyways, though, to solve the problem make a log with a base of 1.075 in your calculator
log21.25(base 1.075) = t
also, because of rules of change of base (might want to look this up to clarify), you can write this as log(21.25)/log(1.075) = t
Thus, t is 42.26118551.
Rounded to hundredths, t=42.26
