Answer:

The 50th term is 288.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence that each term is related with the prior by a sum of a constant ratio is called a arithmetic progression, the sequence in this problem is one of those. In order to calculate the nth term of a setence like that we need to use the following formula:

an = a1 + (n-1)*r

Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term, n is the position of the term in the sequence and r is the ratio between the numbers. In this case:

a50 = -6 + (50 - 1)*6

a50 = -6 + 49*6

a50 = -6 + 294

a50 = 288

The 50th term is 288.

A population of butterflies grows in such a way that each generation is simply 1.5 times the previous generation. There were 350

kap26 [50]

Answer:

378.5 or just 378

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by. When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)

The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.

Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.

If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:

y = 1.5(19) + 350

y = 378.5

Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378
