An = a1 + (n - 1)d A car travels 300 meters the first minute. Each minute after, the car travels 120 meters. If this pattern continues, what is
the distance the car travels in 15 minutes.
4320 meters
O 2000 meters
O 2085 meters
O 1980 meters

The car will travel 1980 meters in 15 minutes.

Hence, option 'D' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a car travels 300 meters in the first minute, so

Each minute after, the car travels 120 meters. , so the sequence becomes

a₁, a₂, a₃, a₄, a₅, ...

300, 420, 540, 660, 780, ...

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by  

computing the differences of all the adjacent terms

The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

now, we have

so substituting a₁ = 300 and d = 120 in the nth term of the sequence

Thus, the nth term of the sequence is:

Determining the distance the car travels in 15 minutes

As we have already determined the nth term of the sequence such as

now substituting n = 15

Therefore, the car will travel 1980 meters in 15 minutes.

Hence, option 'D' is true.

10.50 + taxes which added up to 11.50

9 x 8 divided by (5-3)=36
