Answer:

2, 5, 9, 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula f(n) = 2f(n - 2) + f(n - 1)

with f(1) = 2 and f(2) = 5

f(3) = 2f(3 - 2) + f(3 - 1)

= 2f(1) + f(2) = (2 × 2) + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9

f(4) = 2f(4 - 2) + f(4 - 1)

= 2f(2) + f(3) = (2 × 5) + 9 = 10 + 9 = 19

Answer:

Solution,

Theorem:

The angle bisector theorem states that if a ray bisects an angle of a triangle,then it divides the opposite side into two segments that are proportional to other two sides.

By the theorem,

$\frac{24}{9x - 9} = \frac{32}{6x + 6} \\ or \: 24(6x + 6) = 32(9x - 9) \\ or \: 144x + 144 = 288x - 288 \\ or \: 144x - 288x = - 288 - 144 \\ or \: - 144x = - 432 \\ or \: x = \frac{ - 432}{ - 144} \\ x = 3$

hope this helps...

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

d=-4 and a=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a arithmetic sequence is given by (n/2)*(2a+(n-1)d). Comparing coefficients with the given Sn, we have; a-d/2=12 and d/2=-2, d=-4 and a=10.

Amount Financed: $2,650
Finance Charge: $484.69
Number of Payments: 36

(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=($484.69)/($2,650)*100$
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=(0.1829)*100$
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=$18.29

In the row of number of Payments 36, we look for:
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=$18.29, and we see to which annual porcentage rate it corresponds in the first row

Answer: 11.25%
