Year New flowers
1 1200
2 300
3 75
There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park started tracking them. Since then, there have been one fourth as many new flowers each year
Initially there are 1200 flowers and start decreasing by 
So first term is 1200 and common ratio is .
Its a geometric sequence so summation becomes
i =1∑ ∞ 1200(
Now we find the sum
We use sum formula
Where a is the first term , a= 1200
r is the common ratio , r= 1/4
Sum = 1600 wildflowers
The zero product property tells us that if we have
xy=0, then we can assume that x and y both equal 0
so
(4k+5)(k+7)=0
we can assume that 4k+5=0 and k+7=0
so
4k+5=0
minus 5 both sides
4k=-5
divide both sides by 4
k=-5/4
k+7=0
minus 7 both sides
k=-7
k=-5/4 or -7
Answer:
11x -8y = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-4y=-4
-3x+4y=5
Subtract the second equation from the first
8x-4y=-4
-(-3x+4y=5)
-----------------------------
Distribute the minus sign
8x-4y=-4
+(3x-4y=-5)
-----------------------------
11x -8y = -9
