You received $2500 in gifts on your first birthday. You parents decided to invest the amount in hopes that it would reach $5200 on your 18th birthday (17 years later). What would the annual interest rate need to be to reach this goal, if it was compounded semi-annually?

omg what happend to your question? if you could edit this question i can

step-by-step explanation:

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week
