I'm not completely sure, but this should be exponential growth.
If so, the equation for exponential growth is: y = a(1 + r)^t
If I substitute them with the information you gave me, then is would look like this:
y = 281.4(1 + 0.02)^t
**t = is the number of years after 2000 (based on your question)**

Find the common ratio by dividing.
16 / 8 = 2
8 / a = 2
2 / b = 2
The common ratio is 2.
Since we need to find the values of a and b, use the common ratio to solve for them.
8 / 2 = 4 (a)
2 / 2 = 1 (b)
Now, we know that first 5 terms.
We can solve for the 8th term using the previous terms and the common ratio.
6th term: 1 / 2 = 0.5
7th term: 0.5 / 2 = 0.25
8th term: 0.25 / 2 = 0.125
Part A: 2
Part B: a = 4, b = 1
Part C: 0.125
Best of Luck!
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 0.44
0 is in the ones place
4 is in the tenths place (0.4)
And the other 4 is in the hundredths place (0.04)
