The mean distance from Mars to the sun is 141.633 million miles. The mean distance from Mercury to the sun is 35.983 million miles. Approximately how much closer to the sun is Mercury than Mars?

y = i/2 xtnop + (3i/2 tnop+ 1)

step-by-step explanation:

the picture is the step by step explanation.

(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.
