To find the residual I would subtract the predicted value from the measured value so for x-value 1 the residual would be 2-2.6 = -0.6
15x = 3x + 120 (subtract both sides by 3x)
12x = 120 (divide both sides by 12)
x = 100
If you increase the number of police officers from 648,000 to 719,000...you have increased the total employment by 719,000 minus 648,000
= 71,000
You want to see how much the percentage increase was from 2006 to 2016, so you use your 2006 value of police officers to find the percentage increase.
So you divide 71,000 by 648,000 and multiply by 100
=10.957%
Rounded off to 10.96% which is your final answer
Answer:
a_n = 28-2n
Step-by-step explanation:
Given sequence is:
26,24,22,20
We can see that the difference between consecutive terms is same so the sequence is an arithmetic sequence
The standard formula for arithmetic sequence is:

Here,
a_n is the nth term
a_1 is the first term
and d is the common difference
So,
d = 24-26
= -2
a_1 = 26
Putting the values of d and a_1

Hence, the recursive formula for given sequence is: a_n = 28-2n ..
