Answer:
answer is y=-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x because every time the dot decreases
Changing the subject of the formula
Answer:
2, 10, 50, 250
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula with a₁ = 2 , then
a₂ = 5a₁ = 5 × 2 = 10
a₃ = 5a₂ = 5 × 10 = 50
a₄ = 5a₃ = 5 × 50 = 250
The first 4 terms are 2, 10, 50, 250
1. We assume, that the number 40 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 40, so we can write it down as 100%=40.
4. We know, that x% equals 21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=40
2) x%=21
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=40/21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 21 is what percent of 40
100%/x%=40/21
(100/x)*x=(40/21)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.90476190476*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.90476190476) to get x
100/1.90476190476=x
52.5=x
x=52.5
now we have:
21 is 52.5% of 40
