Answer:

Answer would be

f(0) = 500 \\f(n+1) = f(n)+0.4*f(n)

Step-by-step explanation:

Year 0 you have 500 but, year 1 you have 500+0.4*500 , and the next year you have 40% more, therefore the recursive formula would be

f(0) = 500 \\f(n+1) = f(n)+0.4*f(n)

Answer:

The required recursive formula is

f(n)= 500\times(1.4)^{n-1}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

Mohamed decided to track the number of leaves on the tree in his backyard each year.

The first year there were 500 leaves

Year \: 1 = 500

Each year thereafter the number of leaves was 40% more than the year before so that means

Year \: 2 = 500(1+0.40) = 500\times 1.4\\

For the third year the number of leaves increase 40% than the year before so that means

Year \: 3 = 500\times 1.4(1+0.40) = 500 \times 1.4^{2}\\

Similarly for fourth year,

Year \: 4 = 500\times 1.4^{2}(1+0.40) = 500\times 1.4^{3}\\

So we can clearly see the pattern here

Let f(n) be the number of leaves on the tree in Mohameds back yard in the nth year since he started tracking it then general recursive formula is

f(n)= 500\times(1.4)^{n-1}\\

This is the required recursive formula to find the number of leaves for the nth year.

Bonus:

Lets find out the number of leaves in the 10th year,

f(10)= 500\times(1.4)^{10-1}\\\\f(10)= 500\times(1.4)^{9}\\\\f(10)= 500\times20.66\\\\f(10)= 10330

So there will be 10330 leaves in the 10th year.

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that anything with a subscript of 0 always comes out as a 1

16(1)+2(2)²(4⁻¹)

= 16+8(4⁻¹)

=16 + 8(1/4)

=16+2

=18

Hope this helps! :)

Which linear equation has no solution? 5x+12=5x−7
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Trying to solve this leads to an absurdity, so No Solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+12=5x−7

Lets attempt to solve:

Subtract 5x from both sides

5x - 5x + 12 = 5x - 5x - 7

0 + 12 = 0 - 7

12 = -7

This is absurd so there is no solution.

I need help with this but take your time it is early!
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Each part is 3.5 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ruler has a length of 7-inches, so when you want to split it directly in half, you divide 7/2. This is the number 3.5 inches. On the ruler you can see when looking at the first segment that it goes from 0 inches to half-way between 3 inches and 4 inches, which is 3.5 inches.
