The answer would be -10 if you want me to explain tell me to <span />
Answer:
y=5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that the general decay equation is:

where

is the amount after a time


is the initial amount

is the the decay percent in decimal form
The first ting we are going to do is find

by dividing our <span>decay rate of 25% by 100%: </span>

.
We also know from our problem that

. Lets replace

and

in our formula:


We know now that our decay rate is 0.75, and since 0.75<1, we can conclude that
this situation represents exponential decay.
Now, to find the initial amount, we are going to solve our equation for

:


Notice that

will depend on the number of ours

Answer:
a=1
an= an-1 -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: -4
Reasoning: so first you need to subtract the 7 from the 9 to get -2. Then you square it to get 4 because a negative 2 times -2 is 4. Then you multiply the 4 by the 2 to get 8. You can simplify the -10/5 to -1/2 and multiply that by the 8 to get -8/2 which simplified out to -4.
I hope that helps.
