Responses

an=80,000(0.94)n
a subscript n baseline equals 80,000 left parenthesis 0.94 right parenthesis superscript n baseline

an=80,000(0.94)n−1
a subscript n baseline equals 80,000 left parenthesis 0.94 right parenthesis superscript n minus 1 baseline

an=80,000(0.06)n
a subscript n baseline equals 80,000 left parenthesis 0.06 right parenthesis superscript n baseline

an=80,000(0.06)n−1
a subscript n baseline equals 80,000 left parenthesis 0.06 right parenthesis superscript n minus 1 baseline

Answer 1

The equation that would be used to create a sequence modeling this situation is:

an=80,000(0.94)n
