You are buying boxes of Girl Scout cookies. Each box of cookies costs $5. In the equation below, LaTeX: bb represents the number of boxes you buy, and LaTeX: cc represents the total cost of the cookies. The relationship between these two variables can be expressed by the following equation:

LaTeX: c=5bc = 5 b

Identify the independent and dependent variable.

Dependent variable:

answer: the four apples you took away.

step-by-step explanation:

think the answer would beb

(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.
