Answer:
aₙ = a₁ - 6* (n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
a₁ = 13 = 13 - 6* (1-1)
a₂ = 7 = 13 - 6 * 1 = 13- 6*(2-1)
a₃ = 1 = 7 - 1 = 13 - 6 * 2 = 13 - 6 * (3-1)
........
aₙ = a₁ - 6* (n-1)
check: a₅ = 13 - 6*4 = -11

Answer:
- 2% growth per year
- 25,000 to start
- 12 years
- 31,706 currently
Step-by-step explanation:
The base of the exponent is (1 +0.02). The value 0.02 = 2% is the growth rate. It is positive, signifying a 2% rate of growth per year. (Negative values would mean decay.)
The number 25000 that multiplies the exponential term is the value of the expression when the exponent is zero. It represents the starting population.
The exponent is said to be in years, so the time is 12 years.
The current population is the value of the expression:
25,000(1.02^12) ≈ 31,706 . . . . current population
Let me help you visualize this one.
Let's say we have 12 chickens.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
We divide this group in half (1/2 who tried to cross the road.)
OOOOOO
And here, we need to get 3/4 of the 6 left.
3/4 can be represented as 0.75 of 1.
6 times 0.75 equals to 4.5.
OOOOC (Woah, that chicken is split in half!)
What fraction is 4.5 of the original amount?
Well, that's for you to find out! Good luck in solving this question.
In the initial number xx7,xxx; 7 is in the thousands place meaning its value is 7,000.
If it is moved to the tens place = xxx,x7x then it's value will decrease, it will become 70 only.
Every placement has its corresponding values, thus whereven the number 7 is place it is multiplied by its corresponding values (ones, tens, hundreds, etc).
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides

Divide both sides of the equation by -10
