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.

De que numero es 552 el 8%menos
djyliett [7]
8% of 552 is 44.16. Look at the percent sign as a decimal and move it two places to the left, that'll give you 0.08. To find 8% of 552, look at it as 0.08 multiplied by 552. After you multiply you should get 44.16.

You roll a number cube find the probability. P(3 or 4)
____ [38]
Say the cube has sides numbered 1-6 that means there are 6 possible outcomes. 3 and 4 are only two possible outcomes so the probability of that is 2:6. Simply 1:3 or 33%
