Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there's no one one number you can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next number, this is not arithmetic. It must be geometric. We need then to find the common ratio. Let's start with the first 2 numbers, find a ratio, and then use it to test for accuracy.

10x = 15 and

x = \frac{15}{10}=\frac{3}{2} If this is in fact a geometric sequence witha common ratio of 3/2, we should be able to multiply 15 by 3/2 to get to the next number in the sequence. Let's try it out:

15(\frac{3}{2})= \frac{45}{2}=22.5 Good. So the common ratio is 3/2. The formula for an explicit geometric formula is

A_n=a_1(r)^{n-1 where a1 is the first number in the sequence and r is the common ratio. Filling in:

A_n=10(\frac{3}{2})^{n-1

lianna [129]

Answer:

28.5%  Internet users in 2003 were in the United States.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of people using the internet =

5.8078 \times 10^8

Number of people in United States =

1.6575 \times 10^8

Percent of Internet users in 2003 were in the United States =

=\dfrac{\text{Number of users in United States}}{\text{Number of internet user in world}}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{ 1.6575 \times 10^8}{5.8078 \times 10^8}\times 100\%\\\\=28.5\%

Thus, 28.5%  Internet users in 2003 were in the United States.
