Condition II also holds. Thus, formula holds true for all natural numbers.<br />

15. The yearly values of <strong>the</strong> Durango form a<br />

geometric sequence with first term a 1 = 31,000<br />

and common ratio r = 0.85 (which represents a<br />

15% loss in value).<br />

1<br />

a 31,000 ( 0.85)<br />

n −<br />

n = ⋅<br />

The nth term of <strong>the</strong> sequence represents <strong>the</strong><br />

value of <strong>the</strong> Durango at <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> nth<br />

year. Since we want to know <strong>the</strong> value after 10<br />

years, we are looking for <strong>the</strong> 11 th term of <strong>the</strong><br />

sequence. That is, <strong>the</strong> value of <strong>the</strong> Durango at <strong>the</strong><br />

beginning of <strong>the</strong> 11 th year.<br />

11 1<br />

a ( ) 10<br />

11 = a1 ⋅ r − = 31,000 ⋅ 0.85 = 6,103.11<br />

After 10 years, <strong>the</strong> Durango will be worth<br />

$6,103.11.<br />

16. The weights for each set form an arithmetic<br />

sequence with first term a 1 = 100 and common<br />

difference d = 30 . If we imagine <strong>the</strong> weightlifter<br />

only performed one repetition per set, <strong>the</strong> total<br />

weight lifted in 5 sets would be <strong>the</strong> sum of <strong>the</strong><br />

first five terms of <strong>the</strong> sequence.<br />

an<br />

+ ( n−1)<br />

d<br />

a5<br />

= 100 + ( 5 − 1)( 30) = 100 + 4( 30)<br />

= 220<br />

S 5<br />

5 = ( 100 + 220) = 5<br />

2 2( 320)<br />

= 800<br />

Since he performs 10 repetitions in each set, we<br />

multiply <strong>the</strong> sum by 10 to obtain <strong>the</strong> total weight<br />

lifted.<br />

10( 800)<br />

= 8000<br />

The weightlifter will have lifted a total of 8000<br />

pounds after 5 sets.<br />
