Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The factor (x - 8) has 1 zero at x = 8
The factor (x + 3)² has a zero at x = - 3 of multiplicity 2
In total there are 3 zeros
20, 31, 33, 35, 55, 57, 58, 59, 72, 73, 79, 86, 87, 88
The data set is split by digit. So 2|0 becomes 20. 5|5 becomes 55. Using this method, the data set is
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
2
a = 1/2ab
~Divide 1/2a to both sides
2 = b
Best of Luck!
