Answer:

2730.54
18.8%
62.5% (decrease)

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable formula is ...

rate = portion/base

so ...

base = portion/rate

Of course, a percentage is a fraction that has been multiplied by 100%.

1. base = portion/rate = 456/0.167 ≈ 2730.54

The base is about 2730.54.

2. rate = portion/base = 50/266 ≈ 0.18797 ≈ 18.8%

The rate is about 18.8%.

3. The decrease can be figured from ...

rate of change = (new amount)/(original) -1 = 33/88 -1

= -5/8 = -0.625 = -62.5%

The rate of decrease is 62.5%.

Does the following infinite series converge or diverge? 1/3+2/9+4/27+8/81

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

converge

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio that you multiply by to get the next term is 2/3, which is less than 1, so the geometric series converges by the Geometric Series Test.

The midpoint of segment AB is (-7, 10) and endpoint A is located at (3, -1). Find the other endpoint B. Show all work.

dusya [7]

Answer:

$B(-17,21)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of two points is the average of the x coordinates and the average of the y coordinates.

Given

A(3, -1)

and we let the other end point B be B(x,y)

and midpoint is (-7,10)

So, the average of 3 and x is -7, and

the average of -1 and y is 10

We can solve for x first:

$\frac{3+x}{2}=-7\\3+x=2*-7\\3+x=-14\\x=-14-3\\x=-17$

and now solving for y:

$\frac{-1+y}{2}=10\\-1+y=2*10\\-1+y=20\\y=20+1\\y=21$

So, the other point B is:

$B(-17,21)$

Factor 9x6 – 16 y completely.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

(3x^3 - 4y^3) ( 3x^3 + 4y^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

9x^6 – 16 y^6

Rewriting as

(3x^3) ^2 - ( 4y^3) ^2

This is the difference of squares a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

(3x^3 - 4y^3) ( 3x^3 + 4y^3)
