The trees at a national park have been increasing in numbers. There were 1,000 trees in the first year that the park started tra

The sequence forms a Geometric sequence as the rule to obtain the value for the next term is by ratio

Term 1: 1000
Term 2: 200
Term 3: 40

From term 1 to term 2, there's a decrease by \frac{1}{5}
From term 2 to term 3, there's a decrease also by \frac{1}{5}

The rule to find the n^{th} term in a sequence is 
n^{th}=a r^{n-1}, where a is the first term in the sequence and r is the ratio

So, the formula for the sequence in question is
n_{th} term = 1000( \frac{1}{5} ^{n-1} )

The sequence is a divergent one. We can always find the value of the next term by dividing the previous term by 5 and if we do that, the value of the next term will get closer to 'zero' but never actually equal to zero.

We can find a partial sum of the sequence using the formula
S_{∞} = \frac{a}{1-r} for -1<r<1 
Substituting a=1000 and r= \frac{1}{5} we have 
S_{∞} = \frac{1000}{1- \frac{1}{5} } = 1250

Hence, the correct option is option number 1

Answer:

Fifth-grade detective Mickey Rangel feels like a stuck pig at a barbecue when Mrs. Abrego calls him down to her office; what could he be on the hot seat for? When Mrs. A starts talking about the rash of graffiti that has recently tarnished the school, Mickey frantically rushes to protest his innocence. Mrs. A talks him down; she knows he didn’t do it, but maybe he can figure out who did. Mickey dubs this miscreant the Mischievous Marker and finds a major clue in the latest graffiti message: “Our Principle’s no ‘pal’ of nobodies!” Top-notch speller Mickey notices the problems right away. At lunch that day, when Mickey sees his lifelong archnemesis, Bucho, giving Mickey’s twin brother, Ricky, a hard time, he imagines how sweet it would be if he could prove that the troublemaker Bucho was the Magic Marker Mischief Maker. And if not him, then who? Mickey will need to question more persons of interest and nail down the timeline to crack the case. The brief, fast-moving mystery appears first in English, then Spanish, in Villarroel’s translation. Saldaña's prose is peppy, and his mystery, while quickly solved, hammers home a solid grammar lesson as a bonus.

Though he’s no teacher’s pet, Mickey’s smarts make him a welcome protagonist.

I need someone to explain functions and functional symmetry to me. This is very important, so if you do not have a legit answer,
dolphi86 [110]

Symmetrical functions can be about the x and y axis. Essentially, if we reflect the graph across the y or x axis, we get the same graph. Some other graphs can be reflected across both the x and y axis at the same time and be symmetrical. These can be classified as odd and even functions. You can test this by replacing x and y with -x and -y and simplify the equation. If the results comes out to be the same as the original, it is symmetrical across the origin.

Best of Luck!
