Answer:
in this form, the "-r" would cause the result to decrease
I assume that the answer is "r"
if r = .1 (10 %) then 1-.1 = .9
if you have 100 items then y = 100(.9)^1 = 90
the total decreased by 10% ... y = 100(.9)^2 after 2 time periods

Answer:
Trapezoid 1 (left side):
Base 1 = 2
Base 2 = 5
Trapezoid 2 (right side):
Base 1 = 6
Base 2 = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1st trapezoid:</u>
b_1 = x
b_2 = x + 3
h = 4
Hence, area (from formula) would be:

<u>2nd trapezoid:</u>
b_1 = 3x
b_2 = 4x
h = 2
Putting into formula, we get:

Let's equate both equations for area and find x first:

We can plug in 2 into x and find length of each base of each trapezoid.
Trapezoid 1 (left side):
Base 1 = x = 2
Base 2 = x + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5
Trapezoid 2 (right side):
Base 1 = 3x = 3(2) = 6
Base 2 = 4x = 4(2) = 8
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the completing the square method:
16(x^2-x)+4
=16((x-1/2)^2 - (1/2)^2)+4
=16((x-1/2)^2 - 1/4)+4
=16((x-1/2)^2) - 16/4 + 4
=16(x-1/2)^2
=4^2(x-1/2)^2
The product of two square is itself a square.
