If so, what is the common difference?
Yes, the common difference is 6.
Is the following a geometric sequence:
3, 9, 27, 108
If so, what is the common ratio?
No.
Evaluate the following function.
f(n) = 7n - 3
What is the first term?
a1 = 4
f(1) = 71 - 3
= 7 - 3
You have inherited land that was purchased for $30,000 in 1960. The value of the land increased by approximately 5% per year. What exponential function will represent the value of the land?
y = 30000(1.05)x
a = 30000
b = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05
Suppose Emilio chooses to invest $15,820 with the Bank West CD. If the Bank West CD compounds quarterly at an interest of 3.8%, what will the exponential function be?
y = 15820(1+ 0.038/4)4t
Is the following an arithmetic sequence:
42, 35, 28, 21, 16
If so, what is the common difference?
No.
Is the following a geometric sequence:
416, 104, 26, 6.5, 1.625
If so, what is the common ratio?
Yes, the common ratio is 4.
What is the value of the output of the following function when the input value is 2.
f(x) = 6 * 2x - 1
f(2) = 12
f(2) = 6 * 22 - 1
= 6 * 21
= 6 * 2
During normal breathing, about 12% of the air in the lungs is replaced after one breath. Write an exponential decay model for the amount of the original air left in the lungs if the initial amount of air in the lungs is 500 mL.
y = 500 (0.88)x
a = 500
b = 1 - 0.12 = 0.88
Suppose $2,000 is deposited in an account paying 2.5% interest compounded semiannually. What will the account balance be after 12 years?
$2,694.70
A= 2000(1 + 0.025/2)2(12)
4, 13, 22, 31, 40
What is the 11th term?
94
a1 + (n - 1)d
4 + (n - 1)9
4 + (11 - 1)9
4 + (10)9
4 + 90
7, 14, 28, 56, 112
What is the 20th term?
3,670,016
a1 * rn-1
7 * 220-1
7 * 219
7 * 524288
In a hospital, a patient was administered 400 milligrams of saline. The function below can be used to determine the amount of saline in the patient's bloodstream after x hours.
f(x) = 400(1/2)x/2
How many milligrams of saline are present in the patient's blood after 6 hours?f(6) = 50
f(6) = 400(1/2)6/2
= 400(1/2)3
= 400(1/8)
You deposit $1600 in a bank account. Find the balance after 3 years if the account pays 4% interest yearly.
1,799.78
a = 1600
b = 1 + 0.04 = 1.04
x = 3
y = 1600(1.04)3
Lisa invested $1,000 into an account that pays 6% interest compounded monthly. If this account is account is for her newborn boy, how much will the account be worth on his 21st birthday?
$3,514. 37
A = 1000(1 + 0.06/12)12(21)
