 £840  -   100%

To decrease by percentages you do 100 minus the percent you want to take away. In this case it's 100-5=95. Then divide 95 by 100 which is 0.95. This is the multiplier. Finally, times the multiplier by the number for your answer. In this situation it's 0.95*840=798. The answer is £798.

What are the possible values of the missing term in the geometric sequence?<br> 4, _, 9, ...
pashok25 [27]
<h3>Two possible answers: 6 or -6</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

r = common ratio

To get any term in a geometric sequence, we multiply the previous term by r.

So that means 4r is the second term, since 4 is the first term.

The third term is (4r)*r = 4r^2, which is equal to 9 as given to us.

4r^2 = 9

4r^2 - 9 = 0

(2r)^2 - (3)^2 = 0

(2r - 3)(2r + 3) = 0  ... difference of squares rule

2r-3 = 0 or 2r+3 = 0

2r = 3 or 2r = -3

r = 3/2 or r = -3/2

r = 1.5 or r = -1.5

We can use each r value to find the possible second term

S = 4r = 4*(1.5) = 6

S = 4r = 4*(-1.5) = -6

The second term is either 6 or -6.

We could have this sequence: 4, 6, 9, ...

Or we could have this sequence: 4, -6, 9, ...

Use the coordinate of the labeled point to find a point-slope equation of the line
Ray Of Light [21]

Well since the line is headed to the left side, you know it has a negative slope, so B and C can be crossed out. Then, you know that point-slope form is written as y - y1 = m (x - x1)

So, you just plug in the numbers given on the graph, (4,-2)

You should come out with y + 2 = -2 (x - 4)

And that's the equation of the line in point-slope form!!! :)

Hope it helped and you understand it better!


D.) y + 2= -2 (x - 4)

Suppose a set of test scores is appproximately bell-shaped, with a mean of 68 and a range of 54. (a) The minimum test score is a
liberstina [14]

Answer:

a.) Minimum test score = 41

    Maximum test score = 95

b.)An approximate value of the standard deviation is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given set of test scores is approximately bell shaped.

The mean of the test scores, \mu = 68

The range of the data set = 54.

a.) i.) Minimum test score  = \mu - \frac{range}{2}  = 68 - \frac{54}{2}  = 68 - 27 = 41

   ii.) The maximum test score = \mu + \frac{range}{2}  = 68 + \frac{54}{2}  = 68 + 27 = 95

b.) From the 68-95-99.7 rule, also known as the Empirical rule, tell us that an approximation of the range is 3 standard deviations either way from the mean. So from this rule we can say that the minimum can also be found from \mu - 3\sigma and the maximum can also be approximated as \mu + 3\sigma.

From the above we can say that the range can be written as

   3\sigma - (-3\sigma) = range

∴   6\sigma  = range

∴    \sigma  = \frac{range }{6}  = \frac{54}{6}  = 9

Therefore an approximate value of the standard deviation is 9.
