Answer:

50% ( rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to find the percentage decrease in the price of the bottle of water.

To do this, what we do is that we subtract the new price from the old price, then we divide the result by the old price and multiply the result by 100.

Mathematically,

Percentage decrease in price = (old price- new price)/old price * 100%

Percentage decrease in price= (2.65-1.4)/2.65 * 100%

1.25/2.65 * 100% = 47.2%

We were asked to round to the nearest tenth of a percent. This brings our answer to 50%

Answer:

47.2 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial price, P1 = 2.65

Final price, P2 = 1.40

% price decrease = change in price/initial price × 100

Change in price = P1 - P2

= 2.65 - 1.40

= 1.25

% decrease = 1.25/2.65 × 100

= 47.2 %

Find the domain and range of the function graphed in the picture.
algol [13]

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs, or x coordinates of a function. In this case, any point on the curve has an x coordinate that is 4 or smaller.

Therefore, the domain is the set of numbers x such that x \le 4

To write this in interval notation, we would write (-\infty, 4] This interval starts at negative infinity and stops at 4. We exclude infinity with the curved parenthesis and include 4 with the square bracket.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The range is the set of possible y outputs. Every point on this curve has a y coordinate that is either 0 or it is larger than 0.

The range is the set of y values such that y \ge 0

In interval notation, it would be written as [0, \infty) This time we start at 0 (including this endpoint) and "stop" at infinity

note: we always use curved parenthesis at positive or negative infinity because we cannot reach either infinity

Find the explicit formula for the sequence? -1,4,-16,64......
Ede4ka [16]

The explicit formula for given sequence is: a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

-1,4,-16,64.....

We can see that there is no same difference between consecutive terms so we will find common ratio to see if it is a geometric sequence.

Here

a_1 = -1\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = -16\\a_4 = 64\\r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{4}{-1} = -4\\r = \frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{-16}{4} = -4

The explicit formula for geometric sequence is:

a_n = a_1r^{n-1}

Putting the values of r and a1

a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Hence

The explicit formula for given sequence is: a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Keywords: Geometric sequence, common ratio
