Just do 16870 x .03 (3% as a decimal) and you'll get 506.10. Subtract that to 16870 and you'll get 16363.90.
Answer:
a14 = -40,960
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence has a first term of 5 and a common ratio of -10/5 = -2, so the n-th term is given by ...
an = a1·r^(n-1)
an = 5·(-2)^(n-1)
The 14th term is then ...
a14 = 5·(-2)^(14-1) = -5·2^13 = -5·8192
a14 = -40,960
0.5-4.2
= -3.7
So distance between is -3.7
