Data analysis What is the effect of reducing the constant factor for a geometric progression? How would change the curve in the figure?
To explain: The effect of reducing the constant factor for a geometric progression.
Introduction: A geometric progression tends to increase by a constant factor whereas, in the case of arithmetic progression, there is an increase by a constant difference.
Explanation of Solution
The effect of reducing the constant factor for the geometric progression will result in an overall decrease in the rise of the graph and there will be less progression.
To determine: The change that occurs in the curve.
Introduction: Geometric progression is the type of number sequence in which each term after the first term is found to be multiplying by the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio. When the difference between two successive members of sequence is fixed or constant it is said to be arithmetic progression.
Explanation of Solution
On reducing the constant factor for the geometric progression there will be a change in the path of the curve. The curve will shift to the left side and there will be more sharpness in the graph.

BIOLOGY
- Get any one Large leaf that serves as specimen. Make a drawing of the leaf that is half its actual size. For example, if the leaf is 20 cm long and 10 cm wide, then your drawing must be 10 cm long and 5 cm wide and the magnification 0.5 or % the original size. Your drawing must be accurate. Measure the length and width of your leaf with a ruler and divide each measurement by 2 before you make your drawing.arrow_forwardCONCLUSIONS ABOUT SOME CHARACTERISTICS THAT DETERMINE QUALITY OF THE RICE GRAIN (MILLED RICE)arrow_forwardShow solution with correct formula.

How are the names of brands and labels placed on meat and dairy products in the supermarket misleading? List two ways that chickens are physically different now than in the 1950s, before the green revolution. Vince Edwards, the chicken grower working for Tyson, was not given permission to allow the filmmakers inside his chicken coops. Speculate to the reason for this, after watching the segment with Carole Morison, the Purdue grower. What are some of the health issues faced by the chickens as a result of their accelerated growth and confined living conditions? What does Carole do to try to mitigate these health problems?
