Answer: The required common ratio is 0.79.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that in a geometric series, each term is 21% less than the previous term.

We are to find the common ratio r for this geometric series.

Let the first term of the give geometric series be a.

Then, according to the given information, the second term of the geometric series will be

$a_2=a-21\%\times a=a-\dfrac{21}{100}a=\dfrac{100-21}{100}a=\dfrac{79}{100}a=0.79a.$

Therefore, the required common ratio for the given geometric series is given by

$r=\dfrac{0.79a}{a}=0.79.$

Thus, the required common ratio is 0.79.

To get a number to decrease by 21% you multiply it by 0.79 (1-0.21)
r = 0.79

3. Which inequalities show a correct relationship between expressions?

igomit [66]

Answer: a and d

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to make a analysis of each letters:

a. factoring 32 = 2.2.2.2.2 = $2^{5}$

$2^{5}^{3} = 2^{15}$

then,

16 = $2^{4}$

but $2^{4}^{4} =2^{16}$

in conclusion that, this inequality is correct

b. 27 = $3^{3}$

this first situation is equal to $3^{9}$

the second situation is:

81 = $3^{4}$

and $3^{4}^{4} = 3^{16}$

it's a mistake.

c. factoring 9: $9 = 3^{3}$

$3^{9}$ < $3^{5}$

it's wrong.

d. factoring 8 = $2^{3}$

factoring 32 = $2^{5}$

$2^{12}$ > $2^{10}$

This is true.

Finally.. our correct answers is a and d.

If you have a chance to win $500 for drawing a card of 10 of any suit from a standard deck of cards, what is the value of expect

Dimas [21]

The expected value is $38.46.

The probability of drawing a 10 from any suit is 4/52. Multiply this by the earnings, 500:

4/52(500) = 2000/52 = 38.46
