Given the first three terms of a linear sequence: 3x – 2;x+9; 2x + 5 Determine the value of x.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then

a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is

x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides

- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Each new term is 1 greater than the previous term.  Therefore:

x + 9 = (3x - 2) + 1                   Equivalent to x + 9 = 3x - 2 + 1, or:

                                                                       9 + 2 - 1 = 2x, or 2x = 10

                                                Thus, x = 5

Check by substituting 5 for x as indicated:

3x - 2 becomes 13 (which means the next term must be 14)

x + 9 becomes 14, and

2x + 5 becomes 15

and these consecutive sequence terms are {13, 14, 15}

2. Based on the cash flows shown in the chart below, compute the IRR and MIRR for Project Erie. Suppose that the appropriate cost of capital is 12 percent. Advise the organization about whether it should accept or reject the project.

Project Erie

Time 0 1 2 3 4 5

Cash Flow $12,000 $2,360 $4,390 $1,520 $980 $1,250


Answers

Answer:

IRR = -5.19%

MIRR =  3.33%

The company should reject the project

Step-by-step explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = -$12,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $2,360

Cash flow in year 2 =  $4,390

Cash flow in year 3 = $1,520

Cash flow in year 4 = $980

Cash flow in year 5 = $1,250

IRR = 5.19%

The modified internal rate of return is a capital budgeting method used to determine the profitability of an investment. The MIRR assumes that cash inflows are reinvested at the firm's cost of capital and outflows are financed at the firm's financing cost.

MIRR = (Future value of a firm's cash inflow / present value of the firm's cash outflow)^ (1/n)  - 1

n = number of years

present value of the firm's cash outflow = $12,000

Future value of a firm's cash inflow

Future value of year 1's cash flow = $2,360 x (1.12^4) = $3,713.51

Future value of year 2's cash flow =$4,390 x (1.12^3) = $6167.63

Future value of year 3's cash flow =$1,520  x (1.12^2) = $1906.69

Future value of year 4's cash flow = $980 X 1.12 = 1097.60

Future value of year 5's cash flow = 1250

Add the future values together = $14,135.43

($14,135.43 / $12,000)^0.2 - 1 = 3.33%

The project should be rejected because the IRR is negative.  

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Jacque needs to buy some pizzas for a party at her office. She's ordering from a restaurant that charges a $7.50, 7, point, 50 delivery fee and $14 per pizza. She wants to buy as many pizzas as she can, and she also needs to keep the delivery fee plus the cost of the pizzas under $60

Whats the Inequality

Answers

Answer:

7.50 + 14x < 60

x < 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of pizzas ordered

Delivery fee = $7.50

Cost per pizza = $14

Total cost should be less than $60

The inequality

7.50 + 14x < 60

14x < 60 - 7.50

14x < 52.5

x < 52.5/14

x < 3.75

In a right triangle, there are three sides, A, B, and C.

A and B are the short sides, while C is the long side.

So we know that A = 6 cm, and B = 8 cm.

We can then use the Pythagorean theorem which states that

[tex]C=\sqrt{(A^2)+(B^2)[/tex]

Once we plug in the numbers we get
