Answer:
f(1) = 8
Common ratio: 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1) means the firs term in a sequence.
In the function f(n), represented by 8, 4, 2, 1, .., the first term is 8.
f(1) = 8
To find the common ratio, divide any term by the term before it.
We can use any two of the given terms in the sequence EXCEPT for 8 because it is the first term and does not have a term before it.
I choose to divide the second term by the first term:
4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5
It is (D) I believe. From what I can see it is going down from 1.40 to 1.39 from November to December which is a loss of 0.01

Answer:
B) First, find two areas using (4m x 10m = 40m2) and (8m x 3m = 24m2). Next, add (40m2 + 24m2 = 64m2).
Step-by-step explanation:
Samuel should is looking to find the area of his basement in order to cover it with carpet.
An area is calculated by multiplying two dimensions (so answers A and D are not it).
Best solution is to divide the area into two large rectangles then ADD them together to get the total area.
The only scenario where he could have subtracted something based on his plan is if he would have multiplied the 10m by the 12m then subtracted the area that is not part of his basement (7mx8m). He would have achieved the same result of course, but by going a different way.
