After 3 months 5004 deposited in a savings account with simple interest had earned 162.63 in interest. what was the interest rate

13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use the $ sign.

The simple interest formula is i = p*r*t, where p is the principal amount, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the time in years.  Here, t = 1/4 year; r is unknown, p is $5004 and i is $162.63.

Writing this out with the given info, we get:

$162.63 = $5004*r*(1/4).

We can solve this for r by multiplying both sides by 4/$5004:

(4/$5004)($162.63)  = (4/$5004)($5004)*r*(1/4) = r

Evaluating r, we get (4)($162.63)/$5004 = 0.13

The interest rate, r, is 0.13, or 13%.

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
