Answer:
-68 is not a term in the given sequence
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence is -12, -17, -22, -27...
There is a common difference of d=-17--12=-5
The explicit rule for this sequence is
Or
To find the term that has a value of -68 we equate the explicit formula and solve for n.
The position should be a natural number.
Since n is a decimal, it tells us that -68 is not a term in the given sequence
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of hurricanes in year 2008 = 8
Number of hurricanes in year 2009 = 3
Decrease in number of hurricanes = 8 - 3 = 5
Percent of decrease in number of hurricanes = = 62.5%
Number of hurricanes in year 2010 = 12
Number of hurricanes in year 2011 = 7
Decrease in number of hurricanes = 12 - 7 = 5
Percentage decrease in number of hurricanes = = 41.7%
Decrease in numbers of hurricanes in year 2010 - 11 was same as in year 2010 - 11.
Percentage decrease in hurricanes were more in year 2008 - 09 than percentage decrease in year 2010 - 11.
