ANSWER

$a_n = 11 - 3n$

EXPLANATION

The explicit rule for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1 + d(n - 1)$

It was given that:

$a_1 = 8$

and

$a_2 = 3$

The common difference is

$d = 5 - 8 = - 3$

We plug in the values into the explicit formula to get,

$a_n = 8+ - 3(n - 1)$

Expand to get,

$a_n = 8 - 3n + 3$

The explicit rule is

$a_n = 11 - 3n$

Kathy has $50,000 to invest today and would like to determine whether it is realistic for her to achieve her goal of buying a ho

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

a) About 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the interest rate required to achieve her goal, so we will need to use the interest-compound formula:

$FV=PV(1+i)^{n}$

Where:

PV= Present Value

i= interest rate

FV= Future Value

n= number of periods

replacing the data provided:

$150.000=50.000(1+i)^{10}$

solving for i:

first, divide both sides by 50.000 to simplify the equation:

$3=(1+i)^{10}$

Take $10^{th}$ roots of both sides:

$1+i=$ ± $\sqrt[10]{3}$

solve for i:

$i=$ ± $\sqrt[10]{3} -1$

We get two answers, but we look for a coherent value. So we take the positive one:

$i=11.6123174$ ≈12

Evaluate. 58−(14)2=58-142= ________

nasty-shy [4]

For this case we have the following expression:

$58- (14) ^ 2$

The first step is to solve the quadratic term.

We have then:

$58- (14) ^ 2 = 58-196$

Then, the second step is to subtract both resulting numbers:

$58- (14) ^ 2 = -138$

We observe that the result obtained is a negative number.

Answer:

The result of the expression is given by:

$58- (14) ^ 2 = -138$

(iii) Find the smallest whole number h such that<br>4704/h<br>is a cube number.<br>

yan [13]

Answer:

$h=588$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the fraction $\dfrac{4,704}{h}$

Consider its numerator and factor it:

$4,704=2^5\cdot 3\cdot 7^2$

You cann not take the cube root from $3, 7^2, 2^5,$ you can only take the cube root from $2^3$ , then the smallest whole number $h$ such that $\dfrac{4,704}{h}$ is a cube number is

$h=2^2\cdot 3\cdot 7^2=4\cdot 3\cdot 49=588$

When $h=588,$

$\dfrac{4,704}{588}=8=2^3$
