Answer:

36%

Step-by-step explanation:

line up $ and % data like this:

$2.79 represents 100%

$3.79 represents X%

cross multiply

X*2.79 = 3.79*100

divide both sides by 2.79

X= 3.79*100 / 2.79 ≈ 136%

so it increased 36%

What are the first three terms of the sequence represented by the recursive formula

Dimas [21]

Answer: B. 0.25, 3.75, 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the given sequence, $a_n= n^2 -a_{n-1}$

And, $a_5=14\frac{1}{4}$

On substituting n=5 in the given recursive formula,

We get, $a_5=5^2-a_{5-1}\implies a_5=25-a_4\implies 14\frac{1}{4}= 25-a_4\implies a_4=10\frac{3}{4}$

For, n=4 $a_4=4^2-a_{4-1}\implies a_4=16-a_3\implies 10\frac{3}{4}= 16-a_3\implies a_3=5\frac{1}{4}\implies a_3=5.25$

For, n=3 $a_3=3^2-a_{3-1}\implies a_3=9-a_2\implies 5.25= 9-a_2\implies a_2=3.75$

For, n=2 $a_2=2^2-a_{2-1}\implies a_2=4-a_1\implies 3.75= 4-a_1\implies a_1=0.25$

Thus, First second and third terms are,

$a_1=0.25$ , $a_2=3.75$ and $a_3=5.25$ .

What is the slope of the line shown?

koban [17]

Answer:

So buddy this is going to get a bad rating I know but I'm going to help you out as much as I can without seeing a picture so for linear equations the formula is y=mx+b anyways the slope is m and to find it, look at the line and see how many times it goes up till it lands on a correct point. once you have that you can see how many times it went up and over. Because your slope is your rise over run (rise/run) and so for example <em>if</em> it was c then it would be 3/3 meaning it goes up 3 and over 3. So to find the right one just find a starting point and see how much it goes over to the right. if it goes over to the left then its negative instead of run over to the right. And if it goes down instead of rise then its negative. Hope this helps you find your answer now and in the future.
