Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

-75-(-55) = (-55)-(-35) = (-35)-(-15)=-20

the ratio diff is : d=-20

the nth term is :An=A1+(n-1)d A1 =-15

An=-15+(n-1)(-20) = 15-20n+20

An = -20n+5

26th term when : n=26 A26 = -20(26)+5 = -515

A26= -515

Answer:

-515

Step-by-step explanation:

In this example the first value is −15 and every value afterwards is 20 less.

After substituting these values to above formula, we obtain:

All we have to do is add 25 twenties or 25 x 20 = 500 and -15 - 500 = -515

Tim has an after-school delivery service that he provides for several small retailers in town. He uses his bicycle and charges $

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

For delivery within $1\frac{1}2$ mi, charges = $1.25

For delivery within $1\frac{1}2$ mi - $1\frac{3}4$ mi, charges = $1.70

For delivery within $1\frac{3}4$ mi - 2 mi, charges = $2.15

and

so on.

i.e.

For delivery within 2 mi - 2 $\frac{1}4$ mi, charges = $2.60

For delivery within 2 $\frac{1}4$ mi - 2 $\frac{1}2$ mi, charges = $3.05

For delivery within 2 $\frac{1}2$ mi - 2 $\frac{3}4$ mi, charges = $3.50

For delivery within 2 $\frac{3}4$ mi - 3 mi, charges = $3.95

For delivery within 3 mi - 3 $\frac{1}4$ mi, charges = $4.40

So, every 0.25 mi or $\frac{1}4$ mi increase in distance, there is an increase of $0.45 in the charges.

It is given that there is increase of 10% in the rates.

i.e. for every 0.25 mi increase in distance, there is an increase of 0.45*1.10 = $0.495 in the charges.

The distance of $3\frac{1}8$ miles lies within the range 3 mi - 3 $\frac{1}4$ mi.

So actual charges after increase of 10%

$\Rightarrow \$4.40 \times \dfrac{110}{100}\\\Rightarrow \$4.40 \times 1.10\\\Rightarrow \bold{\$4.84}$

You are researching the penguin population in the Falkland Islands. There are 1000 penguins in the beginning of the first year:

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The formula to determine the population of penguins at the end of the 7th year is:

$P_7=1.3^7\cdot P_0=6.275\cdot 1000=6275$

Step-by-step explanation:

With this information, we know that the initial population at end of year 0 is 1000 penguins.

The first year will born 500 chicks (50% of the population) and also 20% of the total population will die.

We can then model the population for the end of year 1 as:

$P_1=P_0+0.5P_0-0.2P_0=1.3P_0$

As this dynamic will continue with the years, we can generalize as:

$P_2=1.3P_1=1.3\cdot (1.3P_0)=1.3^2P_0\\\\P_n=1.3^nP_0$

Then, the value of the population at the end of the 7th year should be:

$P_7=1.3^7\cdot P_0=6.275\cdot 1000=6275$
