Answer:

16.67% of cases of tapes were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of cases of tapes sold = 24

Thus is 20% of tapes left.

Let x be the total number of tapes left.

Thus, we can write:

20\%\rimes x = 24\\\\\dfrac{20}{100}\times x = 24\\\\x = 24\times 5 = 120

Thus, total number of tapes =

=24 + 120 = 144

Percentage of tapes sold  =

=\dfrac{24}{144}\times 100\% = 16.67\%

Thus, 16.67% of cases of tapes were sold.

Find the common ratio and an explicit form in each of the following geometric sequences.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The explicit form is a_{n}=162(2/3)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit form of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_{n}=ar^{n-1}

where an is the nth term, a is the first term of the sequence and r is the common ratio.

In this case:

a=162

The value of the common ratio is obtained by dividing one term by the previous term.

For the first and second terms:

108/162=2/3

For the second and third terms (In order to prove that 2/3 is the common ratio)

72/108=2/3

Therefore:

r=2/3

Replacing a and r in the formula:

a_{n}=162(2/3)^{n-1}

Which statements about the graph of the function f(x) = –x2 – 4x + 2 are true? Check all that apply. The domain is {x|x ≤ –2}. T
Leto [7]
The graph of the function f(x) =-x^2-4x + 2 is parabola with branches going down in the negative direction of y-axis. 
The vertex of parabola has coordinates:

x_v=\dfrac{-(-4)}{2\cdot(-1)}=-2, \\ y_v=-(-2)^2-4\cdot (-2)+2=-4+8+2=6

Then you can conclude that all x are possible, that means that the dimain is x\in (-\infty,\infty) and the maximum value of y is at the vertex, then the range is (-\infty,6].The function is increasing for x<-2 and decreasing for x>-2 (since vertex is the maximum point).
When x=0, y=2. 
Hence,
<span>The domain is {x|x ≤ –2} - false.
</span>
<span>The range is {y|y ≤ 6} - true.
</span>
<span>The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2) - true.
</span>
<span>The function is decreasing over the interval (−4, ∞) - false.
</span>
<span>The function has a positive y-intercept - true.</span>

4x - 2 = 3x + 3<br> Solve for X<br><br> Please show all your work.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

x=5

Explanation:

We need to get x to stand by itself on one side of the equation.

4x-2 = 3x+3  ← add 2 to each side

4x = 3x+5 ← subtract 3x from each side

x = 5 ← final answer
