Suppose the population of a certain city is 5891 thousand. it is expected to decrease to 5178 thousand in 50 years. find the percent decrease. the percent decrease is approximately

First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing by the formula

Decrease = Original Number - New Number

In your case,

Second: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% Decrease = Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100

In your case,

The percent decrease is approximately  12.1%.

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

do i do it on a graph?
