You can remove the % sign if you divide the number by 100:

This is because % is defined as 1/100, and the name (per-cent) actually meant this originally!
we can also simplify it: let's divide it by 4:
Answer:
m=3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
first, let's put the line 4x+3y=9 from standard form (ax+by=c) into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
we have the equation 4x+3y=9
subtract 4x from both sides
3y=-4x+9
divide by 3
y=-4/3x+3
perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative and reciprocal. If the slopes are multiplied together, the result is -1
so to find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=-4/3x+3, we can take the slope of y=-4/3x+3 (-4/3) multiply it by a variable (this is our unknown value), and have that set to -1
(m is the slope value)
-4/3m=-1
multiply by -3/4
m=3/4
therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 3/4
hope this helps!! :)
Same, i need help with geometry too :(
You know a1.
So find a2, a3, and so on until a7.
a(1) = 12
a(2) = 16
a(3) = 20
a(4) = 24
a(5) = 28
a(6) = 32
a(7) = 36
Each is 4 more than the previous.
Answer:
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:
an = a0*r^(n-1)
Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:
a0*r^(n-1) = an
a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]
We then apply the data given to us
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120
The first term of the sequence is -120.
