If you translate this problem literally, it is saying, “72 is what percent of 288?”. And the equational translation of that is 72 = (x/100) • 288
[ “is” means equal to (=) // “what” means x or another variable // “percent” means divided by 100” // “of” means multiplication. ]
Then you solve that equation.
(you can check it by googling what is 25% of 288. )

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 2x-y-16
Alekssandra [29.7K]

put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c

2x - y = 16

2x = 16 + y

y = 2x - 16

the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.

you can form this equation with that info

2x = -1

x = -1/2

OR

you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1

2/1

= -1/2

Determine the explicit formula of the following sequence -3,-18,-108...
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a_{n} = - 3(6)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = - 18 ÷ - 3 = - 108 ÷ - 18 = 6

This indicates the sequence is geometric with n th term ( explicit formula )

a_{n} = a(r)^{n-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = - 3 and r = 6, thus

a_{n} = - 3(6)^{n-1}
