Let the five terms be: a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, then
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d + a + 4d = 5a + 15d = 40
i.e. a + 3d = 8
Also, (a + 2d)(a + 3d)(a + 4d) = 224
(a + 3d - d)(a + 3d)(a + 3d + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8)(8 + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8 + d) = 224/8 = 28
64 - d^2 = 28
d^2 = 64 - 28 = 36
d = sqrt(36) = 6
But a + 3d = 8
a + 3(6) = 8
a = 8 - 18 = -10

Therefore, the term of the sequence is: -10, -10 + 6, -10 + 2(6), -10 + 3(6), -10 + 4(6)
= -10, -4, -10 + 12, -10 + 18, -10 + 24
= -10, -4, 2, 8, 14

laiz [17]

Answer:

c × 0.90

Step-by-step explanation:

c × 0.90, would be your answer because 10% is equal to 0.10, then you would subtract the 0.10 (10%) by 1 (100%), then multiply c times the 0.90 that you get, to get the decreased number, because you're multiplying by a decimal
