Answer:
55% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the new price and subtract the original price
62-40 =22
Divide by the original price
22/40 =.55
Multiply by 100 to change to a percent
.55*100 = 55%
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
When the y is isolated on one side and is not multiplied by anything (other than one), the slope is the value before the x. In this case, it's 1/6. And in if y is perfectly isolated, then the y-intercept is the value after the x, which is positive 3/2 in this case.
Answer:
- geometric
- common ratio: -5
- a[n]=-5a[n-1]; 625
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>A.</h3>
We start this problem the way we start all problems: we read the problem statement and observe the given data and relationships.
Here, we observe that the given numbers are all multiples (powers) of 5, <em>with alternating signs</em>. We know that an arithmetic sequence cannot have alternating signs, so this is <em>not an arithmetic sequence</em>.
We are familiar with the first few powers of 5, so we recognize the terms have a common ratio of -5. If terms have a common ratio, they are a geometric sequence, so this is a geometric sequence.
__
<h3>B.</h3>
As we observed in Part A, the common ratio is -5.
__
<h3>C.</h3>
The full recursive formula will include the initial value in the sequence:
a[1] = -5
a[n] = -5·a[n-1]
Then the next value is ...
a[4] = -5·a[3] = -5·(-125)
a[4] = 625
Answer:
I've never seen that before! I've only ever seen "~"
if that's what it is then it means "approximately"
Step-by-step explanation:
~66 means "approximately 66"
