a_n=5 \ for \ n=1 \\
a_n=-10 \ for \ n=2 \\
a_n=20 \ for \ n=3

You can see it's a geometric sequence because the ratio is constant (\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{a_2}{a_1}).
The nth term of a geometric sequence:
a_n=a_1 \times r^{n-1}

a_1=5 \\
r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{-10}{5}=-2 \\ \\
a_n=5(-2)^{n-1}

It has to be the sum for term 4 through term 15, so n=4 and the number above the sigma is 15.

Your answer:
\sum^{15}_{n=4} 5(-2)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Just pick a bunch of values of x, and use the formula to find the corresponding value of y.

For example

When x = 0, y = 0+5 = 5 ----> Plot the point (0,5) on graph paper

When x = 1, y = 1+5 = 6 ----> Plot the point (1,6) on graph paper

When x = 2, y = 2+5 = 7 ----> Plot the point (2,7) on graph paper

Then connect the dots to get a linear graph. You should get a graph that looks  like the one attached.

Tigers:-

f(t)  = 7(1 + 0.1)^2   where t = number of years

Eagle 

g(t)  =  15 + 2t


B  after ten year  number tigers = f(t) = 7(1 + 0.1)^10  =   18

  number of eagles = 15 + 10(2) = 35

C when the number of tigers = number eagles the 2 functions will be equal;-

f(t) = g(t)  that is:-

7* 1.1^t  = 15 + 2t

solve for t
