+125 Ana started off her penny collection with 1 penny. She then adds 5 pennies to her penny collection each day.
how could you change the above scenario to make it a geometric series rather than an arithmetic series?
Using the answer, how many pennies would ana have in total after 10 days?
show and use the formula to calculate
show all work
pls help i struggle.. thank you
+129899 It's not possible to generate a geometric series from the fist one because we have no common difference....
But....if she were to start with one penny and successively double the amount added the previous day.....we would have this series :
1,2,4,8....etc....
So....on the 10th day.....she would have this much :
1 [ 1 - 2^10 ] / [ 1 - 2 ] =
1 [- 1023] / -1 =
1023 cents = $10.23
CPhill: What were you thinking of?
10th day =F + D(N - 1), F=First day, D=Common differnce, N=Number of days.
=1 + 5*(10 - 1)
=1 + 5*9
=46 cents
Days = (1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46)- cents
+895 But that would be an arithmetic sequence.
Arithmetic formula: \(t_n=t_1+(n-1)d\)
tn=nth term, t1= first term, d= common difference, n= terms
Geometric Formula: \(t_n=t_1*r^{(n-1)}\)
tn=nth term, t1= first term, r= common ratio, n= terms.
