Answer: $45.90

No Jeremy can not find the cost of the sneakers by adding the percents, you have to the math one sale discount at a time.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply $60 by 15%, getting $9. Subtract 9 from 60 and get the first discount price: $51. Then you will multiply 51 by `10% and get 5.1, subtract 5.1 from 51 and get your final sale price $45.90. If you added the percents together you would get an incorrect value of $45.

Find the sequence.. <br> 1,2,2,4,8
AlladinOne [14]
Let the n-th term be called a_n

We see that if we choose a_0=1,a_1=2 then the other numbers follow the pattern a_{n+2}=a_{n+1}\cdot a_n (see :4=2*2,8=4*2)

Hence the sequence will be 1,2,2,4,8,32,256, 8192, 2097152, 17179869184,\dots

Which shows a recursive and an explicit formula for a sequence whose initial term is 14 and whose common difference is −4? A. A(
liberstina [14]

Answer: A. A(1) = 14; A(n) = (n − 1) −4; A(n) = 14 + (n − 1)(−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence is a sequence that is identified by their common difference. Let a be the first term, n be the number of terms and d be the common difference.

For an arithmetic sequence, common difference 'd' is added to the preceding term to get its succeeding term. For example if a is the first term of a sequence, second term will be a+d, third term will give a+d+d and so on to generate sequence of the form,

a, a+d, a+3d, a+4d...

Notice that each new term keep increasing by a common difference 'd'

The nth term of the sequence Tn will therefore give Tn = a+(n-1)d

If the initial (first) term is 14 and common difference is -4, the nth of the sequence will be gotten by substituting a = 14 and d = -4 in the general formula to give;

Tn = 14+(n-1)-4 (which gives the required answer)

Tn = 14-4n+4

Tn = 18-4n
