73-14=59
The fish is now 59 feet below sea level.

Answer:

59 feet below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

(It might be a little confusing because the question says "swim up" which might think you need to add when you actually need to subtract).

Keep in mind that sea level is exactly 0 feet.

73-14 = 59

The fish starts off at 73 feet below sea level.

It swims up 14 ft.

I took 73 and subtracted 14 from it and got 59.

Does this make sense? I'm here if you need help clarifying!

Hope this helps!

What is the formula for the nth term of the given sequence 100, 20, 4, …

Naily [24]

Answer:

$a_n=100 \left(\dfrac15\right)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of geometric sequence: $a_n=ar^{n-1}$

Given:

a₁ = 100
a₂ = 20
a₃ = 4

$\implies a_1=a=100$

$\implies a_2=100 \cdot r=20$

$\implies a_3=100 \cdot r^2=4$

Common ratio:

$r=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{4}{20}=\dfrac15$

Therefore:

$a_n=100 \left(\dfrac15\right)^{n-1}$

At the beginning of the day there were 90 little fish in the pond.At the end of the day there were 52 little fish in the pond.Fi

balu736 [363]

Answer:

42%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the difference in the number of fishes from the beginning of the day to the end of the day.

90 -52

= 38 fishes

Therefore the percent decrease can be calculated as follows

= 38/90 × 100

= 0.422 × 100

= 42.2 %

= 42% ( to the nearest cent)

Find a common difference of the arithmetic sequence -2, -1 4/5, -1 3/5, -1 2/5,

elixir [45]

Answer:

The common difference is $\frac{1}{5}$ or 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Arithmetic Sequence -2, -1 4/5, -1 3/5, -1 2/5,

First term = a₁ = -2

Second term = a₂ = $\frac{-9}{5}$

Third term = a₃ = $\frac{-8}{5}$

Fourth term = a₄ = $\frac{-7}{5}$

To Find:

Common Difference = d = ?

Solution:

Formula for Common Difference d , $\textrm{common difference}= \textrm{Second Term} -\textrm{First Term}=\textrm{Third Term}-\textrm{Second Term}$

$\textrm{common difference} = a_{2}- a_{1}= a_{3}- a_{2}=a_{4}- a_{3}$

∴ $d = \frac{-9}{5}-(-2)\\d=\frac{-9}{5}+2\\d=\frac{1}{5}\\ \therefore d =0.2\\$

The common difference is $\frac{1}{5}$ or 0.2
