use the explicit formula an = a1 + (n - 1) * d to find the 500th term of the sequence below. 24,30,36,42,48,... A. 3018 B. 3042 C. 2994 D. 3024

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is  

24, 30, 36, 42, 48, ...

It is an AP. Here,  

First term = 24

Common difference = 30-24 = 6

The given explicit formula for nth term is

where, is first term, d is common difference.

Substitute in the above formula.

The 500th term of the sequence is 3018.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
