Answer:
Complete the square on x by adding <u>49</u> to both sides.
Complete the square on y by adding <u>81</u> to both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given an equation 
. We are asked to complete the squares for both x and y.
We know to complete a square, we add the half the square of coefficient of x or y term.
Upon looking at our given equation, we can see that coefficient of x is 14 and coefficient of y is 18.
Now, we will add 49 to complete the x term square and 81 to complete y term square on both sides of our given equation as:
Applying the perfect square formula 
, we will get:
Therefore, We can complete the square on x by adding <u>49</u> to both sides and the square on y by adding <u>81</u> to both sides.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
A is wrong, it increases
C is wrong, the coefficient does not determine if it is linear (straight), the exponent does.
D is wrong, you don't need to know a point to determine if it is linear, (if you have 3 points you can though. )
Numbers I think I'm not that smart
Since the basis is from year 1 to year 2, calculate first for the difference of their percentages. That would be:
Difference = year 2 - year 1
Difference = 2.32% - 1.1% = 1.22%
We apply this same value of percentage increase from year 2 to year. Thus, the percentage for year 3 is:
% Year 3 = % Year 2 + percentage increase
% Year 3 = 2.32% + 1.22%
% Year 3 = 3.54%
= 7.
Ratio means multiply/divide.
To get the next number, multiply number by common ratio.
To get a previous number, divide by common ratio.
Since we want the next number...
2nd term: 7 x -2 = -14
3rd term: -14 x -2 = 28
4th term: 28 x -2 = -56
5th term: -56 x -2 = 112
Keep going until 9th term!
