The given series is geometric with common ratio
, which converges if
(i.e. the interval of convergence). We have the well-known result

If you're not familiar with that result, it's easy to reproduce.
Let
be the
-th partial sum of the infinite series,

Multiply both sides by the ratio.

Subtract this from
to eliminate all the powers of the ratio between 0 and
.

Solve for
.

Now as
, the exponential term converges to 0 and we're left with

Since there are 34% fewer, you multiply 297 x 0.34 = 100.98
Then you add 100.98 to 297 = 397.98
They had 397 employees.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 6x³-x²+4x+5
g(x) = 9x³-1
(f+g)(x) = {6x³-x²+4x+5} + {9x³-1}
open brackets
6x³-x²+4x+5 + 9x³-1
choose like terms
6x³+ 9x³-x²+4x+5 -1
15x³-x²+4x+4= x²(15x-1)+4(x+1)= (x²+4)(x+1)(15x-1)
(f+g)(x)= 15x³-x²+4x+4 = (x²+4)(x+1)(15x-1)
(f+g)(2) = 15(2)³-(2)²+4(2)+4 = 15(8)-4+8+4 = 120+8 = 128
(f-g)(x) = {6x³-x²+4x+5} - {9x³-1}
open brackets
6x³-x²+4x+5 - 9x³+1
choose like terms
6x³- 9x³-x²+4x+5 +1
-3x³-x²+4x+6= -x²(3x+1)+2(2x+3)= (-x²+2)(3x+1)(2x+3) = (2-x²)(3x+1)(2x+3)
(f-g)(x) = -3x³-x²+4x+6 = (2-x²)(3x+1)(2x+3)
(f-g)(-3) = -3(-3)³-(-3)²+4(-3)+6 = -3(-3x-3x-3)-(-3x-3)-12+6=-3(-27)-3(9)-12+6= 81-27-12+6 = 54-6= 48
(f-g)(-3) = 48
The correct answer is B) AC = BC
We know this because the two triangles are equal due to SAS
