Answer:
the common ratio is 0.98.
Step-by-step explanation:
A fish population in a lake decreases by 2% each year. We are asked to find the common ratio.
The decrease of population of fish 2% annually means the population becomes next year 100% - 2% = 98%
Therefore, the common ratio would be 98%. Upon converting 98 percent to a decimal we will get,
98% = 
Therefore, the common ratio or decay factor is 0.98.
<span>12/25=x/88
12(88)=25(x)
1056=25x divide both sides by 25
x=42.24</span>
1/6 (divide each by 2)
4/24 (multiply each by 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. when x is 0
y will be
4x+2y=10
4(0)+2y=10
0+2y=10
collect like terms
2y=10-0
2y=10
divide both sides by 2
2y/2=10/2
y=5
so when x =0 y will equal to 5
2. when x is 1
y will be
4x+2y=10
4(1)+2y=10
4+2y=10
collect like terms
2y=10-4
2y=6
divide both sides by two
2y/2=6/2
y=3
so when x is 1, y is 3
3. when x is 2
4x+2y=10
4(2)+2y=10
8+2y=10
(CLT) 2y=10-8
2y =2
y= 1
D is the only one which would make sense :)
