Answer:
both statements are fine
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the price of a product after decreasing it, they can be done in the two ways that the statement tells us,
First, calculate that% that was decreased and then subtract it from the original price or simply multiply that original price by the percentage in which the new price would remain.
For example:
let "x" be the original price
in the first case it would be:
0.2 * x and then subtract from x, i.e .:
x - 0.2 * x
in the second case it is:
1 - 0.2 = 0.8
that is, the new price would be 0.8 * x
Simon ran slower than 1 mile every 5 minutes.
Because 33 / 5.5 = 6. So he ran 1 mile every 6 minutes, not 5.
The 2-point form of the equation of a line can be written as ...
... y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)·(x -x1) +y1
For your points, this is ...
... y = (1-5)/(3-6)·(x -6) +5
... y = (4/3)(x -6) +5
It can also be written as
... y -5 = (4/3)(x -6)
Anyway
so the recursive rule tells the relationship between the previous term and the term we want to find
given
an=2n+11
it is clear that the first term is 13
2nd term is 15
3rd term is 17
each term increases by 2
so
a term is equal to the previous term plus 2
an=a(n-1)+2
the first one is the answer
