Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Geometric Sequences</em>
Any given sequence is said to be geometric if each term can be obtained as the previous term
by a constant value called the common ratio.
or equivalently
Looking closely at the sequence 2, y, 18,-54, 162 we can try to find out if it's a geometric sequence or not. We compute the possible common ratios
and we see they both result -3. If we use r=-3 and try to find the second term (y), then
y=2*(-3)=-6
Now we compute the third term: (-6)(-3)=18
Since we got the third term as given in the original sequence.
So y=-6
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we can use the percent change formula shown in the picture attached below. is the new value,
is the old value, and
represents the change. For this problem, 80 is the new value and 64 is the old value. Let's plug those numbers into the formula and solve for the percent change:
×
×
×
Thus, the answer is 25%.
