How do you know when a situation involves a percent increase or a
percent decrease?

1. Subtract starting value minus final value.

2.divide that amount by the absolute value of the starting value.

3. Multiplt by 100 to get a percent decrease.

4. if the percentage is negative, it means there was an increase and not an decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

A percent of increase (or decrease) is a ratio of the amount of increase (or decrease) to the original amount. To find the percent of increase (decrease): Determine the amount of increase (or decrease). Divide this result by the given original amount.

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1  

22.83 repeating

step-by-step explanation:

137 ÷ 6 is 22.8333333 therefore we understand that 3 is repeating.
