Answer:

Let the three numbers be a,ar, ar^2 ,

where r is the common ratio.

⇒a+ar+ar^2 =28 and a^3 r^3 =512

⇒ar=8⇒a+ar^2 =20

⇒8r^2 −20r+8=0

⇒r=2,r= 1/2

If r=2,a=4

Therefore, the three numbers are 4,8,16.

Answer:

The number of employees in 8 years is 442

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Decreasing rate = 7%

Current number of employees = 790

To Find:

The number of employees after 8 years is this same rate continues =?

Solution:

Let the number of employees after 8 years be x

The current number of employees is:

$790(1-0.07)^0=790$ ---------------------------------(1)

since the decrase rate is 7% we use 0.07

So after 8 years , eq (1) can be rewritten as

$790(1-0.07)^8= x$

$790(0.93)^8= x$

$790 \times 0.5595= x$

x= 442.005

x= 442 (approx)
