Answer:
The area after 9 years will be 1,234 km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating what the area of a certain forest that decreases at a certain percentage would be after some years.
To answer this question, we shall be using an exponential approximation.
Now, to use this exponential approximation, we shall be needing a supporting exponential mathematical equation.
This can be written as;
A = I(1-r)^t
where A is the new area we are looking for
I is the initial area which is 1700 according to the question
r is the rate of decrease which is 3.5% = 3.5/100 = 0.035
t is time which is 9 years according to the question
We plug these values and have the following;
A = 1700(1-0.035)^9
A = 1700(0.965)^9
A = 1,233.66
This is 1,234 km^2 to the nearest square kilometer
Answer:
a₈ = - 1 / 128
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
First four terms of the sequence
a₁= 1, a₂= - 1/2, a₃= 1/4 and a₄= -1/8
First we recognize that this is a geometric series (sequence) and we must calculate quotient q.
q = a₂/a₁ = a₃/a₂ = (-1/2)/1 = (1/4)/(-1/2) = - 1/2
q = - 1/2
Formula for calculating n-th term is:
aₙ = a₁ · qⁿ⁻¹
According to this:
a₈ = 1 (-1/2)⁷ = - 1/ 128
