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
Ranking is very critical in this problem. Therefore, the most applicable mathematical theory is permutations.
Ranking possible for the cellists:
Needed cellists = 5
Total available cellists = 10
Possible number of rankings = 10P5 = 10!/(10-5)! = 30240
Ranking possible for the violinists:
Needed violinists = 5
Total available = 16
Possible number of rankings = 16P5 = 16!/(16-5)! = 524160
Therefore,
Ratio of rankings (cellists to violinists) = 30240/524160 = 3/52
Slope does not exist. A zero in the numerator means you have a horizontal line.
