Answer:
A) a_n = 5n + 2
B) a_n = (2^(n + 1)) - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The sequence is given as;
{7,12,17,22,27,...}
The differences are:
5,5,5,5.
This is an arithmetic sequence following the formula;
a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d
d is 5
Thus;
a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)5
Now, a_1 = 7. Thus;
a_n = 7 + 5n - 5
a_n = 5n + 2
B) The sequence is given as;
{ 3,7,15,31,63,...}
Now, let's write out the differences of this sequence:
Differences are:
4, 8, 16, 32
This shows that it is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2.
In the given sequence, a_1 = 3 and a_2 = 7 and a_3 = 15
Thus, a_2 = 2a_1 + 1
Also, a_(2 + 1) = 2a_2 + 1
Combining both equations, we can deduce that: a_(n + 1) = 2a_n + 1
Thus; a_n can be expressed as:
a_n = (2^(n + 1)) - 1
Cost of the spa treatment = $42
Percentage of sales tax = 6%
Percentage of tips = 20%
Normally the tips amount is calculated before adding sales tax.
Then
Amount of tips given = (20/100) * 42
= (1/5) * 42
= 8.40 dollars
Amount of sales tax taken = (6/100) * 42
= 252/100
= 2.52 dollars
Then
The total amount spent for spa treatment = (42 + 8.40 + 2.52) dollars
= 52.92 dollars
So we can see that $52.92 has been spent in total for spa treatment and this amount includes a sales tax of $2.52 and a tip of $8.40.
Answer:
Option 2: (1, 0) and (0, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve this system of equations using the elimination method.
Start by labelling the two equations.
5x -y= 5 -----(1)
5x² -y= 5 -----(2)
(2) -(1):
5x² -y -(5x -y)= 5 -5
Expand:
5x² -y -5x +y= 0
5x² -5x= 0
Factorise:
5x(x -1)= 0
5x= 0 or x -1= 0
x= 0 or x= 1
Now that we have found the x values, we can substitute them into either equations to solve for y.
Substitute into (1):
5(0) -y= 5 or 5(1) -y= 5
0 -y= 5 or -y= 5 -5
y= -5 or -y= 0
y= 0
Thus, the solutions are (0, -5) and (1, 0).
