Answer:
For an nth term U(n) = a + (n - 1)d
n = number of terms
a = first term
d = common difference
a = 5
d = 2 - 5 = - 3
U(n) = 5 + (n -1)-3
= 5 - 3n + 3
= 8 - 3n
The formula for the sequence is 8 - 3n
Hope this helps
Answer:
We have, 15% × x = 85
or,
15
100
× x = 85
Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 15,
we have x = 85 ×
100
15
x = 566.67

1. A decrease of 3.8% is equivalent to a multiplier fraction of -0.038. The only answer choice that has such a multiplier is A.
In an instance such as this, the "rate" is usually some (fractional) change in some period of time. Since the exponent must be unitless, the rate is effectively (some fraction) "per year" so that multiplying by "t" years cancels the units and results in a pure number.
___
<em>Comment on the exponential</em>
If the actual change were -3.8% per year, the exponential term would look like (1 - 0.038)^t = 0.962^t. By writing it as e^(-0.038t), the decrease is effectively compounded continuously. As a result, over a year's time, the decrease is actually about 3.73%, not 3.8%.

2. If ║x/2║ is a magnitude function, answer choices B and D are equivalent. Thus, we must assume it is a "greatest integer" function. Then the number of desserts prepared will be ║x/2║, and the corresponding revenue will be 1.2║x/2║. Since x is in minutes, 2 to 4 hours will be 120–240 minutes. The appropriate choice is B.
Answer:
Volume = 14.5 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of cone = 
<u><em>Where r = 2 and h = 3.46</em></u>
Volume = 
Volume = (3.14)(4)(1.15)
Volume = 14.5 cm³
