Mohamed decided to track the number of leaves on the tree in his backyard each year. the first year, there were 500 leaves. each year thereafter, the number of leaves was 40% more than the year before. let f(n) be the number of leaves on the tree in Mohamed's backyard in the n^th year since he started tracking it. f is a sequence. what kind of sequence is it?
Number of leaves on the tree in first year = 500
The number of leaves was 40% more than the year before.
So rate of increase is 40/100 = 0.4
We use exponential growth formula,
f(n) = a(1+r)^n
Where a is the initial number, r is the rate of growth, n is the number of years
We know a= 500, r= 0.4
f(n) = 500(1+0.4)^n
f(n) = 500(1.4)^n
Plug in n=1,2,3...
f(1) = 500
f(2) = 500 * 1.4^1
f(3) = 500 * 1.4^2 and so on
From this we can see that the common ratio is 1.4
Hence it is a Geometric sequence.
First you need to figure out the slope:
y2-y1/x2-x1=(1+5)/(-5-7)=-1/2
y+5=-1/2(x-7)
y=-1/2x-3/2
Answer:
1.01 or 1.0
Step-by-step explanation:
All of given options contain quadratic functions. One way to determine the extreme value is squaring the expression with variable x.
Option B contain the expression where you can see perfect square. Thus, equation 
(choice B) reveals its extreme value without needing to be altered.
To determine the extreme value of this equation, you should substitute x=2 (x-value that makes expression in brackets equal to zero) into the function notation:
The extreme value of this equation has a minimum at the point (2,5).
