Each year for 4 years, a farmer increased the number of trees in a certain orchard by of the number of trees in the orchard the

Neko [114]

Answer:

The number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that x is number of trees at the begging of the first year, we know that for four years the number of trees were incised by 1/4 of the number of trees of the preceding year, so at the end of the first year the number of trees was $x+\frac{1}{4} x=\frac{5}{4} x$ , and for the next three years we have that

Start End

Second year $\frac{5}{4}x$ -------------- $\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}(\frac{5}{4}x) =\frac{5}{4}x+ \frac{5}{16}x=\frac{25}{16}x=(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$

Third year $(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$ ------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{2}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{5^{2} }{4^{3} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$

Fourth year $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$ -------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{3}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{5^{3} }{4^{4} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{4}x.$

So the formula to calculate the number of trees in the fourth year is

$(\frac{5}{4} )^{4} x,$ we know that all of the trees thrived and there were 6250 at the end of 4 year period, then

$6250=(\frac{5}{4} )^{4}x$ ⇒ $x=\frac{6250*4^{4} }{5^{4} }= \frac{10*5^{4}*4^{4} }{5^{4} }=2560.$

Therefore the number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

Find the value of x and classify the triangle plzzz

timama [110]

Answer:

x=24°

The triangle is an obtuse isosceles triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an obtuse isosceles triangle because it has two congruent sides, making it an isosceles triangle, and there is an obtuse angle, which is any angle greater than 90°.

The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180, so let's make an equation.

132+2x=180

Then solve for x

subtract 132 from both sides

2x=48

Divide by 2 on both sides

x=24

Answer:

x=103°

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x-26=180

2x=180+26

2x=206

x=206/2=103°
