Which of the following is the best first step in solving the equation below? 13 + Inx = 6
A. In(x+13) = 6
B. In x^13= 6
C. e^13 In x = 6
D. In x =-7

(a) {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …}

(b) $59 398

step-by-step explanation:

(a) the annual sequence of profits

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

the model for the sequence of profits is {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …} .

(b) profit after 15 yr

  a₁ = $ 30 000

  r = 1.05

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.05¹⁴

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.979 93

a₁₅ = $59 398

the profit in year 15 will be $59 398.

pi or 3.14159265359 is an irratinal decimal

answer is a.

13.268

hope you get it right.
