The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of q for the equation 4q − 2q − 4 = −1 + 21: Step 1: 4q − 2q − 4 = −1 + 21
Step 2: 4q − 2q − 4 = 20
Step 3: 2q − 4 = 20

Which of these is most likely the next step? (1 point)

A. 2q = 5
B. 2q = 8
C. 2q = 16
D. 2q = 24

(a) {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …}

(b) $59 398

step-by-step explanation:

(a) the annual sequence of profits

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

the model for the sequence of profits is {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …} .

(b) profit after 15 yr

  a₁ = $ 30 000

  r = 1.05

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.05¹⁴

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.979 93

a₁₅ = $59 398

the profit in year 15 will be $59 398.

hi there, i would be interested to you with your test, may you add the questions and answer options.
