Answer:
f(1) = 8
Common ratio: 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1) means the firs term in a sequence.
In the function f(n), represented by 8, 4, 2, 1, .., the first term is 8.
f(1) = 8
To find the common ratio, divide any term by the term before it.
We can use any two of the given terms in the sequence EXCEPT for 8 because it is the first term and does not have a term before it.
I choose to divide the second term by the first term:
4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5
add 7 to 27 which equals 34
In mathematics, an inverse function (or anti-function) is a function that "reverses" another function: if the function f applied to an input x gives a result of y, then applying its inverse function g to y gives the result x, and vice versa, i.e., f(x) = y if and only if g(y) = x. <u><em>Courtesy to Wikipedia</em></u>
I like to start by turning all my numbers into the same form. You can go either way but I am going to turn the decimals into fractions. so 0.7 is the same as 7/10.
0.755 is like 755/1000 which can be reduced to 151/200 (if you don't understand the convertions let me know i will explaine more.)
Next give all the fractions a common denominator. both 8 and 10 go into 200 so we can use that. 151/200 already has a denominator of 200 so that one is set.
for 7/10 well, 10 time 20 is 200 so multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 20 so you get 140/200
the last one is 5/8 8 times 25 is 200 so multiply both numbers by 25 to get 125/200
the fractionos we have are 125/200 151/200 and 140/200. Now because they all have the same denominator the one with the lowest numerator is the least number and the one with the highest number is the greatest number.
125/200 140/200 151/200 now just replace the original number with the order they are placed in.
125/200 was 5/8
140/200 was 0.7
151/200 was 0.755
so the final answer is
5/8, 0.7, 0.755
$40.50 10 boxes at 6lbs = 60lbs
36 boxes at 12 ounces = 432 ounces dived by 16(16 oz in a lbs)= 27 lbs
60 lbs plus 27 lbs = 87 lbs total weight
87lbs - 20lbs($12)= 67lbs - 30 lbs($10)= 37lbs x .50($.50 per pound)= $18.50
$12+$10+$18.50= $40.50
