Answer:

a1 =50  r = 1.05 n =  12

Step-by-step explanation:

instruction revealed answers

By applying formula of sum of n terms of GP we can say that total amount paid in the first 12 months can be expressed as  

[tex]S_{12} = \frac{12(1.04^{12}-1)}{1.04-1}[/tex]

what is sequence ?

Sequence is collection of numbers with a pattern .

Given that

Amount paid in first month =$62 and every month amount increase by 4%

So

[tex]a_{1}=62\\\\a_{2}= 1.04\times a_{1}[/tex]

and similarly

[tex]a_n=1.04 \times a_{n-1}\\\\\\ \Rightarrow \frac{ a_n}{ a_{n-1}}=1.04[/tex]

So this is an GP with common ratio 1.04 and first term 62

So sum of 12 terms can be expressed as

[tex]S_{12} = \frac{12(1.04^{12}-1)}{1.04-1}[/tex]

By applying formula of sum of n terms of GP we can say that total amount paid in the first 12 months can be expressed as  

[tex]S_{12} = \frac{12(1.04^{12}-1)}{1.04-1}[/tex]
