The composite function combines the palm tree and the seed functions
The composite function is t(d) = 60d + 20
<h3>How to determine the composite functions</h3>
The functions are given as:
Number of palm trees: t(s) = 3s + 20
Number of seeds: s(d) = 20d
The composite function that represents the number of palm trees Carlos can expect to grow over a certain number of days is represented as:
t(s(d))
This is calculated as:
t(s(d)) = 3s(d) + 20
Substitute s(d) = 20d
t(s(d)) = 3 * 20d + 20
Evaluate the product
t(s(d)) = 60d + 20
Rewrite as:
t(d) = 60d + 20
Hence, the composite function is t(d) = 60d + 20

Step-by-step explanation:
this sequence is geometric not arithmetic
HOw we know that ??
when we get a common difference that must Be equal
d=6-2=4 not equal to d=18-6=12
So it is not arithmetic
but when we get the common ratio that also must be equal
r=6/2=18/6=54/18=3 equal
So it is geometric
By using this equation:
a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)
and we have a(1)=2 , r=3
<u>Explicit rule:</u> a(n)=2*(3)^(n-1)
<u>Recursive rule:</u> a(n)= r * a(n-1)
a(n-1) ⇒ priviuse term
SO: a(n)= 3 * a(n-1)
For example:
a(3)= 3 * 6 =18
