The wildflowers at a national park have been decreasing in numbers. There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park

started tracking them. Since then, there have been one fourth as many new flowers each year. Create the sigma notation showing the infinite growth of the wildflowers and find the sum, if possible. Year New flowers 1 1200 2 300 3 75

Year      New flowers

1                 1200

2                 300

3                   75

There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park started tracking them. Since then, there have been one fourth as many new flowers each year

Initially there are 1200 flowers and start decreasing by \frac{1}{4}

So first term is 1200 and common ratio is \frac{1}{4}.

Its a geometric sequence so summation becomes

i =1∑ ∞ 1200(\frac{1}{4})^{i-1}

Now we find the sum

We use sum formula

Sum = \frac{a}{1-r}

Where a is the first term , a= 1200

r is the common ratio , r= 1/4

Sum = \frac{1200}{1-(\frac{1}{4})}

Sum = \frac{1200}{\frac{3}{4}}

Sum = 1600 wildflowers

you can subtract from point 1 to point 2

(9,-2) - (8,3)

9-8= 1

-2-3= -5

therefore horizontal leg is 1

vertical leg is -5

you can also sketch and count the units :)

A quadrilateral has the following vertices on a coordinate plane:
dolphi86 [110]
<h3>Answer:  4</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

We'll only focus on points J and K.

J = (3, -6)

K = (-1, -6)

Because these two points have the same y coordinate (which is -6), this means we can ignore those values and subtract the x coordinates

3 minus (-1) = 3 - (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4

Or we could plot points J and K on the same xy grid system, and count out the number of spaces between J and K. You should count out 4 spaces.

This means segment JK is 4 units long.

Rewrite using a single positive exponent
Korolek [52]

Answer:

9³

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of \dfrac{9^5}{9^2}.

We know that,

\dfrac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}

Here, a = 5 and b = 2.

So,

\dfrac{9^5}{9^2}=9^{5-2}\\\\=9^3

So, the answer to the given expression is 9³.
