Answer:

g(n)=80×3^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First term (a)=80

The ant population tripled every week.

So, the population of ant after 1st week will be (80 × 3) = 240

After 2 weeks, the population triples again.

We have, (240 × 3) = 720

Common ratio (r)=720/240

=3

r=3

The ants population is increasing in a geometric progression

A geometric progression is given by

g(n)=a × r^(n-1)

Substitute values of a and r to get the explicit formula

g(n)=a × r^(n-1)

g(n)=80×3^(n-1)

The lines a and b intersect at point C.<br><br> What is the value of y?
Amanda [17]

Using the definition of vertical angles, the value of z is: 15.

<h3>Vertical Angles Pair</h3>

The two pairs of opposite angles formed when two straight lines intersect are called vertical angles, and are therefore congruent to each other.

Thus:

2z + 10 = 40

2z = 40 - 10

2z = 30

z = 30/2

z = 15

Therefore, using the definition of vertical angles, the value of z is: 15.
