Answer:

The expression 1.016x does not represent a percent increase greater than 12%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find whether the expression 1.016x represent a percent increase greater than 12% if the original amount is x.

First of all, we will find 12% increase. The total amount after x% increase would be original amount plus 12% of original amount.

\text{12 percent increase}=x+\frac{12}{100}x

\text{12 percent increase}=x+0.12x    

\text{12 percent increase}=1.12x

Since 1.12 is greater than 1.016, therefore, the expression 1.016x does not represent a percent increase greater than 12%.

We can rewrite 1.016x as:

1.016x=1x+0.016x=x+0.016x

Let us convert 0.016 to percent by multiplying by 100.

0.016\times 100\%=1.6\%

Since 1.6% is less than 12%, therefore, the expression 1.016x does not represent a percent increase greater than 12%.

Which names are other ways to name ∠1?
vesna_86 [32]
∠1 is an angle formed by the two lines PF and YF at point F

We can also call this angle as ∠PFY because it indicates the point F in the middle where the angle is formed

We can call this angle as ∠YFP because it also indicates the point F in the middle where the angle is formed

we can also call this angle ∠F since F is the point where the angle is formed.

Correct answer: ∠PFY, ∠YFP, ∠F

I will never get the hang of these questions help
jeyben [28]
First term is -7, so a_1 = -7

To get the next term, we add on 4. We can see this if we subtract like so
d = (2nd term) - (1st term) = (-3) - (-7) = -3+7 = 4

So d = 4 is the common difference. 

Apply a_1 = -7 and d = 4 to get...
a_n = a_1 + d*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + 4*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + (n-1)*4

Answer: Choice A
