Given that the number is x,
10% increase will give us a new number of:
110/100*x
=1.1x
10% decrease will give us a new number of:
90/100*1.1x
=0.99x
This implies the new number is less than the original number
Answer:
17.3 in
Step-by-step explanation:
x equals negative 8 that's it
The explicit formula is a(n) = 15(n – 10)
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, a term a(19) = 135 and common difference d = 15
We have to find the explicit formula.
Now, we know that, a(n) = a + (n – 1)d where a(n) is nth term, a is first term, d is common difference,
So, for a(19)

Now, we know that, an explicit formula is an expression for finding the nth term,
So, in our problem, expression for finding nth term is a + (n – 1)d

Hence, the explicit formula is a(n) = 15(n – 10).
