Answer: there will be 517262 butterflies by the 19th generation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of butterflies grows in such a way that each generation is simply 1.5 times the previous generation. This means that the population is increasing in geometric progression. We would apply the formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression which is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = 350

r = 1.5

n = 19

Therefore, the 19th term or generation, T19 would be

T19 = 350 × 1.5^(19 - 1)

T19 = 350 × 1.5^18

T19 = 517262

In how many ways can a
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The answer is 364. There are 364 ways of choosing a recorder, a facilitator and a questioner froma club containing 14 members.

This is a Combination problem.  

Combination is a branch of mathematics that deals with the problem relating to the number of iterations which allows one to select a sample of elements which we can term "<em>r</em>" from a collection or a group of distinct objects which we can name "<em>n</em>". The rules here are that replacements are not allowed and sample elements may be chosen in any order.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step I

The formula is given as

C (n,r) = \frac{n}{r} = \frac{n!}{(r!(n-r)!)}

n (objects) = 14

r (sample) = 3

Step 2 - Insert Figures

C (14, 3) = (\frac{14}{3}) = \frac{14!}{(3!(14-3)!)}

= \frac{87178291200}{(6 X 39916800)}

= \frac{87178291200}{239500800}

= 364

Step 3

The total number of ways a recorder, a facilitator and a questioner can be chosen in a club containing 14 members therefore is 364.

Cheers!
