One way to do this problem is to determine the common difference. If the 5th and 8th terms are -9 and -21, we can do this by subtracting -9 from -21:
-21-(-9) = -12. The 5th and 8th terms are not consecutive, so we have to think in terms of (8-5), or 3, times the common difference to get from -9 to -21.
Note that -12 divided by 3 is -4. Thus, the common difference is -4.
Check: -9 - 4 = -13; -13 - 4 = -17; -17 - 4 = -21 (which is correct).
We know that the 5th term is -9. To find the 4th term, work backwards: subtract (-4) from -9, which produces -9+4=-5.
The fourth term is -5. Subtracting -4 from this (which is the same as adding 4 to this -5) produces the third term; it is -1. Can you now find the 2nd and 1st terms using the same approach?
Answer:
Basically it has to be divisible by 8, 9, and 10 because any number that is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 must also be divisible by 8, 9 and 10. We know that the number has to end in 0, the sum of its digits must be divisible by 9 and the last three digits must be divisible by 8. Therefore, the smallest number is 10080 and the largest is 999360.
Answer:
between 222 and 223 days
Step-by-step explanation:
This relation includes the point (0, 2).
A proportional relation must include the point (0, 0).
This is not proportional, but it may be linear.
Points: (0, 2), (2, 20)
y = mx + b
20 = (20 - 2)/(2 - 0) × 2 + b
20 = 18/2 × 2 + b
b = 2
y = 18x + 2
When 4000 people know, y = 4000.
y = 18x + 2
4000 = 18x + 2
3998 = 18x
x = 3998/18
x = 222.111...
Answer: between 222 and 223 days
The percent increase is 18.18 repeating
