Answer:
You didn't give the geometric sequence in question.
But to find the nth term of a geometric sequence, use the formula
Sn = ar^(n - 1)
Where a is the first term of the sequence
r is the common ratio of the sequence.
Example: To find the nth term of the geometric sequence
1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, ...
Here, a = 1/2
r = 1/4 ÷ 1/2 = 1/8 ÷ 1/4 = 1/16 ÷ 1/8 = 1/2.
Sn = (1/2)(1/2)^( n - 1)
Apply this method to the sequence you were given, it will be helpful.
Answer:
$519
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the amount of profit made expressed as y=-2x^2+105x-859
At maximum profit, dy/dx = 0
dy/dx = -4x + 105
0 = -4x + 105
4x = 105
x = 105/4
x = 26.25
Substitute into the original function
y=-2x^2+105x-859
y=-2(26.25)^2+105(26.25)-859
y = - 1,378.125+2,756.25-859
y = 519.125
Hence the maximum amount of profit the company can make is $519
34 = q + n
6.1 = .25q + .05n
-1.7 = -.05q - .05n
6.1 = .25q + .05n
4.4 = .2q
q = 22
22 of the coins are quarters.
