Please: Use "^" to denote exponentiation: <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0
Reduce this by div. every term by 2: </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0
Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6. Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:
</span> x^2 + 4x +4 - 4 - 6 = 0. Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation
(x+2)^2 = 10. Take the sqrt of both sides: x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).
Finally, solve for x: x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).
Answer:
1500
Step-by-step explanation:
1481 to the nearest hundred is 1500 because 8 is nearer to 10
So basically an arithmetic sequence has a common difference, a number which is either added or subtracted at a constant rate (only that number). A geometric sequence is the ratio between two numbers, meaning they are either multiplied or divided by the same number. The sequence would be neither if it follows none of these patterns. So by this logic:
14. Arithmetic, 15. Geometric, 16. Neither, 17. Geometric
Answer:
≈ 13.98%
Step-by-step explanation:
As the total population is 5769 in the initial period, you must find the percentage that repesents 4963 that is the expected population.
4963/5769=0.8602
Then you multiply it by 100 to transform it into percentage
0.8602*100=86.02%
Then it's just necesary to subtract that from 100% and that numbers is the percentage of decrease
100% - 86.02% = 13.98%
Also you can say that is approximately 14%
