A(n) = –3 • 2⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾
for n = 1 , A₁ = -3.(2)⁰ = -3
for n = 2 , A₂ = -3.(2)¹ = -6
for n = 3 , A₃ = -3.(2)² = -12
for n = 4 , A₄ = -3.(2)³ = -24
...........................................
for n = 8 , A₈ = -3.(2)⁷ = -384
When will he have less than 40 wheels left? Well you can make the equation...
85-4x=40
And then solve for x.
85-4x=40
-4x=-45
x=11 1/4 rounded up to 12
answer: He will have less than 40 wheels left after he has built 12 cars.
Answer:
Vacation pays are not included in salaries. Therefore, Jerry's calculation is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is :
Jerry makes $40,000 a year working at a nearby factory.
He gets two weeks paid vacation per year, plus five other paid holidays.
So total paid holidays become =
days
Subtracting 19 from 365 days and assuming that Jerry works for 365 days a year.
We get =
days
So, his per day salary will be = 
Vacation pays are not included in salaries. Therefore, Jerry's calculation is wrong.
