Answer:
the common ratio is 0.98.
Step-by-step explanation:
A fish population in a lake decreases by 2% each year. We are asked to find the common ratio.
The decrease of population of fish 2% annually means the population becomes next year 100% - 2% = 98%
Therefore, the common ratio would be 98%. Upon converting 98 percent to a decimal we will get,
98% = 
Therefore, the common ratio or decay factor is 0.98.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the first sentence x (the number) is 2 more than another number (y). So, x+2=y. The sum of the squares of the two numbers is 42, meaning that
+
=42. First, we square root the ENTIRE equation to get rid of the square. If you do one thing to one side, you have to do it to the other. After this, we have x+2+y=
. Now, we subtract 2 from the other side to isolate the variable. You can isolate either one but normally I go for x. Now we have x+y=
+2. Now, we want to get y to the other side so we subtract it from the left side and the right side which gives us x=-y+
+2. now we know what X is equal to. Now we plug in x for
+
=42, which gives us
+
=42. Now we only have one variable which is what we want. Next, we square root the entire thing to get rid of the squares, which gives us -y+
+4+y=
. I got lost in my work. I must have done something wrong I cant find out. If anyone wants to pick up where I left off go ahead but there's a timer and I have one minute left. I cant finish the problem in a minute. I'm sorry and hopefully I lead you somewhere.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Identify the coordinates as x1, y1 and x1, y2. Solve by using the formula of slope(gradient)
If this is a true or false question, it’s false because 2/10 + 7 ≠ 10. the correct inequality would be 2/10 + 7 = 12.
