Reduced to 12/10 when dividing both by 6. can be reduced further to 1 2/10 and even further to 1 1/5.
Its factors would be
(x+2)*(x-1)*(x+0)
x^2 +x -2
x^3 + 0 + x^2 + 0 -2x +0
Equation: x^3 + x^2 -2x
f(2) = 8 + 4 -4
2x^3 + 2x^2 -4x +0
f(2) = 16 + 8 -8
3x^3 + 3x^2 -6x +0
f(2) = 24 +12 -12
4x^3 + 4x^2 -8x +0
f(2) = 32 +16 -16
So, the equation is:
4x^3 + 4x^2 -8x = 0
We notice that the common ratio of teh sequence is 10, and that the first term is -0.56, then the recursive formula is:
Answer:
Rate of Decay = 8%
Step-by-step explanation:
The decay formula is:

Where F is the final value (here, it is given as "Y")
P is the initial value (here, given as 20,000)
r is the rate of decay (what we need to find)
t is the time (given as 2)
Comparing both the equations:

We see that:
1 - r =0.92
We solve for "r":
1 - 0.92 = r
0.08 = r
The rate of decay is 0.08, as a percentage, we need to multiply by 100, so we have:
0.08 * 100 = 8%
Rate of Decay = 8%
