This is an equation of exponential decay
y(t) = a b^ t where a is the initial amount
b is the decay factor
t is the time in years
b is found by taking 1 and subtracting the percent it decreases in decimal form
Letting t =4
y(t) = 260 million * ( 1- .011) ^ 4
=248.7473796 million
=24874737.96
Rounding to a whole number
= 24874738

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we have
0.888...
This is a <u>repeating decimal</u> (Is a decimal that has a digit, or a block of digits, that repeat over and over and over again without ever ending)
Convert to fraction number
Let
x=0.888...
10x=8.888...
Subtract 0.888... from 8.888... to remove the decimal
10x-x=8.888...-0.888...
9x=8
Solve for x
x=8/9
therefore
Mike fraction is incorrect
because 4/5=0.8
0.8 is a <u>terminating decimal </u>(It's a decimal with a finite number of digits)
Mike's mistake was considering the number as a terminating decimal instead of a repeating decimal
Beth is correct
because
If you divide 8/9
the result is 0.8888888...
Remember
(x^m)(x^n)=x^(m+n)
and
if a^m=a^n, where a=a then n=m
(x^4)(x^n)=x^5
(x^4)(x^n)=x^(4+n)
x^(4+n)=x^5
therefor
4+n=5
minus 4
n=1
X=5
Since both lines are tanget meaning the only touch the circle once, both sides will be the same we can set up an equation 33=x^2+8 which is 25=x^2 and square root both sides to get 5 equals x
