Step-by-step explanation:
a1 = 27
r = -9/27 = -⅓
the formula :
an = a1. r^(n-1)
= 27. (-⅓)^(n-1)
= 3³(-3`¹)^(n-1)
= 3³(-3)^(1-n)
On the face of it, [5.3%, 8.65%].
_____
If you mean that up to 8.65% may be added to the base 5.3% rate, then the total can be in the range [5.3%, 13.95%].
Remember, the volume formula of a sphere is

.
Set that equation equal to whatever volume they give you and solve for r.

=

Now solve for r! I know you can do this. If you need help, just comment.
Answer: Y= -5x+2
First we need to find slope
M= y2-y1/x2-x1
M= -3-2/1-0
M= -5/1
M= -5
Now using slope intercept form we can solve this equation
Y-y1=m(x-x1)
Y-2=-5(x-0)
Y-2=-5x+0
Y= -5x+2
hope this helps!!
Please tell me if I am incorrect, I enjoy learning from my mistakes:)
