The first term of a geometric sequence is 4 and grows exponentially by a factor of 3. Murphy writes out the terms and says that the sum of the 4th and 5th terms is​ 1,296. Explain​ Murphy's error and correct it. (Fill in the blanks)
Murphy added terms
____
together. The correct sum of the 4th and 5th terms is ___
​(Simplify your​ answer.)

Answers

Answer 1

The geometric sequence can increase or decrease exponentially

The correct sum of the 4th and the 5th terms is 432

How to determine the correct sum?

The given parameters are:

Initial value (a) = 4

Growth factor (r) = 3

The nth term of a geometric sequence is calculated as:

[tex]T_n = ar^{n-1}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]T_n = 4 * 3^{n-1}[/tex]

For the 4th term; we have:

[tex]T_4 = 4 * 3^{4-1}[/tex]

[tex]T_4 = 108[/tex]

For the 5th term, we have:

[tex]T_5 = 4 * 3^{5-1}[/tex]

[tex]T_5 = 324[/tex]

Add the 4th and the 5th terms

Sum = 108 + 324

Sum = 432

Hence, the correct sum of the 4th and the 5th terms is 432

Muriel is considering leasing a car, and she is even thinking about buying it after the lease is up. She's trying to make sense of the terms of the lease before she makes her decision, but she's having a little trouble figuring it all out. The terms of the lease are as follows.
Terms:
Length of lease: 32 months
MSRP of the car: $26,260
Purchase value of the car after lease: $14,330
Down payment: $1270
Security deposit: $605
Acquisition fee: $765
Lease factor: 0.00073
Provide Muriel with some assistance by answering the following questions. 5 points: Part I - 1 point; Part II - 1 point; Part III - 1 point; Part IV - 1 point; Part V - 1 point)
What is the amount of the cash due at signing?
What would be Muriel's monthly payment? What is the total amount of money that Muriel would spend on monthly payments? What is the total cost of leasing the car, assuming that Muriel does not get the security deposit back?
What is the total price of the car if Muriel buys it after leasing, assuming that she does not get the security deposit back

Answers

The amount of cash due based on the terms of the lease that Muriel will pay is $2640.

How to calculate the cash due?

The amount of cash due is calculated thus:

= Security deposit + Acquisition fee + Down payment

= $605 + $1270 + $765

= $2640

The monthly lease payment will be:

= Depreciation + Interest

= $133 + $28.7

= $161.70

Depreciation was calculated as:

= ($24990 - $14330) / 32 = $133

Interest was calculated as:

= Capitalized cost + Residual value × Money factor

= ($24990 + $14330) × 0.00073

= $28.70

Ella's family took a road trip to Niagara Falls. Ella slept through the last 14% of the trip. If Ella fell asleep after they had travelled 602 miles, what was the total length of the trip?

Answers

x= 4300

14%xx=602



i think that is the answer, i tried helppoo

The total length of the trip is approximately 700 miles as per the concept of percentage.

To find the total length of the trip, we need to determine the distance covered before Ella fell asleep and then calculate the whole trip's length.

Let's denote the total length of the trip as "T" miles.

Ella slept through the last 14% of the trip, so she was awake for the first 100% - 14% = 86% of the trip.

The distance covered before Ella fell asleep is 86% of the total trip's length:

86% of T = 0.86T

We know that Ella fell asleep after they had traveled 602 miles, so we can set up the following equation:

0.86T = 602

To find the total length of the trip, we solve for T:

T = 602 / 0.86

T ≈ 700

The total length of the trip is approximately 700 miles. Ella's family traveled this distance, and Ella fell asleep after they had traveled 602 miles, which is 86% of the total trip's length.

is added to it, the sum is 143 and if the same number is subtracted from it the
remainder is 9. Find the number.

Answers

Call the two-digit number : ab

The new number formed : ba

We have : 10a + b + 10b + a = 143

11a + 11b = 143

a+b = 143 : 11 = 13

So, we have a few combinations for a and b : (4;9) , (5;8) , (6;7) , (7;6) , (8;5) , (9;4)

Out of all these, only 76 is the satisfied number, as the new number formed is 67, and 76 + 67 = 143 ; 76 - 67 = 9

Ben runs 3/4 mile each day.How many Miles Does ben run in 12 days

Answers

Answer:

9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

0.75x12=9

or

75x120=90

90/10=9

If Ben runs 3/4 mile each day than he runs 9 miles in 12 days.

To find out how many miles Ben runs in 12 days

we need to multiply the distance he runs each day (3/4 mile) by the number of days (12).

First, let's convert 3/4 mile to a decimal:

3/4 mile = 0.75 mile

Now, we can calculate the total distance Ben runs in 12 days:

0.75 mile × 12 days

= 9 miles

Therefore, Ben runs 9 miles in 12 days.
