- Find the requested term of each geometric sequence. Find the eighth term of the geometric sequence whose second and fourth terms are 0.2 and 5.arrow_forwardPollution A chemical plant discharges 2400 tons of pollutants every year into an adjacent lake. Through natural runoff, 70% of the pollutants contained in lake at the beginning of the yare are expelled by the end of the year. (a) Explain why following sequence models the An. of the pollutant in the lake at the end of the nth year that the plant is operating. An=0.30An1+2400 (b) Find the first five terms of the sequence An. (c) Find a formula for An. (d) How much of the pollutant remains in the lake after 6 years? How much will remain after the plant has been operating a long time? (e) Verify to part (d) by graphing An with a graphing calculator for n=1ton=20.arrow_forwardFind the requested term of each geometric sequence. Find the sixth term of the geometric sequence whose first three terms are 14, 1, and 4.arrow_forward
- Fill in the blanks. The sum of a finite geometric sequence with common ratio r1 is given by sn=.arrow_forwardMonthly Savings Program Alice opens a savings account that pay 3% interest per year, compounded monthly. She begins by depositing $100 at the start of the first month and add $100 at the end of each month, when the interest is credited. Find a recursive formula for the amount An in her account at the end of the nth month. (Include the interest credited for that month and her monthly deposit.) Find the first five terms of the sequence An . Use the pattern you observed in (b) to find a formula for An . [Hint: To find the pattern most easily, it’s best not to simplify the terms too much.] How much has she saved after 5 years?arrow_forward
