Answer:

$4,116

Step-by-step explanation:

Worth of Mike's car at the start of 2014 = $12,000

If the car is said to depreciates every year by 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

The worth of the car at the start of 2017 is what we are to determine.

This means that the car depreciated by 30% (0.3) for 3 years since 2014 (2017 - 2014 = 3 yrs)

The worth at the start of 2017 would be calculated as follows:

12,000 × (1 - 0.3)³

= 12,000 × (0.7)³

= 12,000 × 0.343

= 4,116

Worth of the car at the start of 2017 would be $4,116

Answer:

Quincy read 9 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work backwards. Samantha read three less books than Teresa (11-3=8). Ralph read half as many books as Samantha (8/2 = 4). Quincy read five more books than Ralph (4 + 5 = 9).

Bernardo and Ogechi were asked to find an explicit formula for the sequence 1\,,\,8\,,\,64\,,\,512,...1,8,64,512,...1, comma, 8,

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

$h_{n}=1.(8)^{n-1}$ will be the correct formula for the given sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is 1, 8, 64, 512...........

The given sequence is a geometric sequence having a common ratio (r) of

r = $\frac{\text{Second term}}{\text{First term}}$

r = $\frac{8}{1}=8$

Since explicit formula of a geometric sequence is given by

$T_{n}=a(r)^{n-1}$

where $T_{n}$ = nth term of the sequence

a = first term of the sequence

r = common ratio of the successive term to the previous term

Now we plug values of a and r in the formula to get the explicit formula for the given sequence.

$T_{n}=1.(8)^{n-1}$

Therefore, if Bernardo is saying that the formula of the sequence is

h(n) = $1.(8)^{n-1}$ then he is correct.
