Answer:
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:
an = a0*r^(n-1)
Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:
a0*r^(n-1) = an
a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]
We then apply the data given to us
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120
The first term of the sequence is -120.
 
        
             
        
        
        
The answer is 9 Dollars per hour because 36 divided by 9 is 4 and 9 times 9 is 81.
 
        
             
        
        
        
I didn't mean to post the answer and can't figure out how to take it down. Somebody report it so it does go down and the question can be later answered. Thank you
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
x ≥ 250 
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that "greater than or equal to" looks like ≥
50 + x ≥ 300
Isolate the variable. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 50 from both sides.
x + 50 (-50) ≥ 300 (-50)
x ≥ 300 - 50
x ≥ 250
x ≥ 250 is your answer.
