Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=1000, r=1\)
Company A pays $$\$ 24,000$$ yearly with raises of $$\$ 1600$$ per year. Company B pays $$\$ 28,000$$ yearly with raises of $$\$ 1000$$ per year. Which company will pay more in year 10 ? How much more?
Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of each geometric sequence. Then use the formula for \(a_{n}\) to find \(a_{7}\), the seventh term of the sequence. \(3,15,75,375, \ldots\)
Enough curiosities involving the Fibonacci sequence exist to warrant a flourishing Fibonacci Association. It publishes a quarterly journal. Do some research on the Fibonacci sequence by consulting the research department of your library or the Internet, and find one property that interests you. After doing this research, get together with your group to share these intriguing properties.
Find the indicated term for the geometric sequence with first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). Find \(a_{6}\), when \(a_{1}=-2, r=-3\).
