<h3>Answer: Geometric</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

To go from term to term, we are multiplying by 2

-7 * 2 = -14

-14 * 2 = -28

-28 * 2 = -56

This means the common ratio is 2 and this sequence is geometric.

---------

Alternatively, you can divide each term by its prior term

-56/(-28) = 2

-28/(-14) = 2

-14/(-7) = 2

Each time we get the same result showing the common ratio is 2.

What is 1 2/3 multiple 2/3
Flauer [41]

Answer:

1\frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

1\frac{2}{3} \times\frac{2}{3}

In order to multiply the two, we have to convert the mixed number into a improper fraction and then multiply the numerator by the numerator, the denominator by the denominator.

1\frac{2}{3} =3\times1=3+2=\frac{5}{3}
\frac{5}{3} \times\frac{2}{3}
5\times2=10
3\times3=9
=\frac{10}{9}

<u>Convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:</u>

\frac{10}{9}
\frac{10}{9} =10\div9=1\frac{1}{9}
=1\frac{1}{9}

Your answer is "1 1/9."

Hope this helps.

The price of a gallon of milk was $2.65. The price rose y dollars after the last hurricane. Then the price dropped $0.15 and lat
elena55 [62]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

So you start with $2.65 and a variable y. What we will do is work without the dollar and keep it for the end as it quite disturbs and work our way while keeping the y. So first we have 2.65. Now it rose by y so. The price = 2.65 + y. Then it dropped by 0.15. So 2.65 + y - 0.15. Here you see we have like terms so we reduce and get 2.50 + y. Now it rose by 0.05. So 2.50 + y + 0.05. Again, like terms, reduce. 2.55 + y. There you go with the answer.

The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price
likoan [24]

Answer:

A)  3%

B)  Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Function</u>

General form of an exponential function: y=ab^x

where:

  • a is the initial value (y-intercept)
  • b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
  • x is the independent variable
  • y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

<u>Part A</u>

<u>Product A</u>

Assuming the function for Product A is <u>exponential</u>:

f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x

The base (b) is 1.03.  As b > 1 then it is an <u>increasing function</u>.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, <u>product A is increasing by 3% each year.</u>

<u>Part B</u>

\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, <u>Product A recorded a greater percentage change</u> in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

  • a = 10,100
  • b = 1.01
  • n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100

\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201

\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01

\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that <u>Product B increases by 1% per year.</u>

What is the answer to 2a + 3b =
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

2a+3b

Step-by-step explanation:

There wouldn't be a simplfied answer or solution if you don't have a solution for either a or b or both. And they are not like terms, so you can't add them together.

So the answer is 2a + 3b.

I hope this helps!

Have a great day!
