8. John is in a club that collects annual dues. In the first year that he was a member, he paid $20 in club dues. However, the club dues increase by $2 each year. Identify the function that describes the relationship between the number of years that John has been a member of the club and the dues he pays that year. options:
A. f(n) = 20 + 2(n – 2)
B. f(n) = 20 + 2(n + 1)
C. f(n) = 20 + 2(n – 1)
D. f(n) = 20 + 2n

 C) f(n) = 20 + 2(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula is:     where

Given: In the first year he paid $20  --> = 20

          Dues increase $2 each year --> d = 2

= 20 + 2(n - 1)

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
