Answer:

  62

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

The sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is ...

  Sn = (2·a1 +d(n -1))(n/2)

Using these relations and the given values of a11 and s11, we can find a1 and d:

  a11 = a1 +d(11 -1) = 32

  S11 = (2·a1 +d(11 -1))(11/2) = 187

These simplify to ...

  a1 +10d = 32

  2a1 +10d = 34 . . . . multiply the second equation by 2/11

__

Subtracting the first of these from the second, we get ...

  a1 = 2

Then the common difference is ...

  d = (32 -2)10 = 3

And the 21st term is ...

  a21 = 2 +3(21 -1) = 62

The 21st term is 62.

Describe the pattern below<br><br> 3 6.5 11 16.5 23
ipn [44]
6.5 - 3 = 3.5
11 - 6.5 = 4.5
16.5 - 11 = 5.5
23 - 16.5 = 6.5

From this, you can see that the number being added is increasing by 1 each time.

Therefore, the pattern is adding 3.5, then 4.5, then 5.5, then 6.5, and so on.

Find the balance at the end of 4 years if $10,000 is deposited at a rate of 1.5% simple interest.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Principal amount (P) = $10,000

Rate (R) = 1.5%

Time (T) = 4 years

Simple interest, I = P X R X T / 100

= 10000 X 1.5 X 4 /100

= 60000 / 100

= $600

Therefore, Balance = P + I

= 10000 + 600

= $10600
