u19=-71.74
Step-by-step explanation:
u5=a+4d=-3.7....(1)
u15=a+14d=-52.3....(2)
-10d=48.6
d=-48.6/-10
d=-4.86
Substitute-4.86 into....(1)
u5=a+4(-4.86)=-3.7
a+(-19.44)=-4.7
a=-3.7-(-19.44)
a=15.74
19term=a+18d=?
=15.74+18(-4.86)
=15.74+(-87.48)
19th term =-71.74
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is exponential, of the form
where a is the initial amount and b is the growth/decay rate. If Ginny begins the study with 1200 frogs in the population, our a value is 1200.
If the population is decreasing 3% per year, it is decreasing 100% - 3% = 97% which, as a decimal, is .97. Our exponential function, then, is

Answer:
184
Step-by-step explanation:
convert percentage into decimal:
40% = 40/100 = 0.4
Therefore 40% of 460 = 0.4 x 460 = 184
Answer:
x = 9
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 2y = 24 is the same as x + y = 12
using substitution, x = 12-y
12 - y = 3y
12 = 4y
y = 3
x = 3(3)
x = 9
