Explain in detail, how you solved the following problem: The first two terms of a sequence are 10 and 20. If each term after the

KIM [24]

Answer:

$T_{2020} = 15$

Explanation:

Given

$T_1 = 10$

$T_2 = 20$

Each term after the second term is the average of all of the preceding terms

Required:

Explain how to solve the 2020th term

Solve the 2020th term

Solving the 2020th term of a sequence using conventional method may be a little bit difficult but in questions like this, it's not.

The very first thing to do is to solve for the third term;

The value of the third term is the value of every other term after the second term of the sequence; So, what I'll do is that I'll assign the value of the third term to the 2020th term

This is proved as follows;

From the question, we have that "..... each term after the second term is the average of all of the preceding terms", in other words the MEAN

$T_{n} = \frac{\sum T{k}}{n-1} ; where: k = 1 .... n -1$

Assume n = 3

$T_{3} = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * T_{3} = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2} * 2$

$2T_{3} = T_1 + T_2$

Assume n = 4

$T_{4} = \frac{T_1 + T_2 + T_3}{3}$

$T_{4} = \frac{(T_1 + T_2) + T_3}{3}$

Substitute $2T_{3} = T_1 + T_2$

$T_{4} = \frac{2T_3 + T_3}{3}$

$T_{4} = \frac{3T_3}{3}$

$T_{4} = T_3$

Assume n = 5

$T_{5} = \frac{T_1 + T_2 + T_3 +T_4}{4}$

$T_{5} = \frac{(T_1 + T_2) + T_3 +(T_4)}{4}$

Substitute $2T_{3} = T_1 + T_2$ and $T_{4} = T_3$

$T_{5} = \frac{2T_3 + T_3 +T_3}{4}$

$T_{5} = \frac{4T_3}{4}$

$T_{5} = \frac{(5-1)T_3}{5-1}$

Replace 5 with n

$T_{n} = \frac{(n-1)T_3}{n-1}$

(n-1) will definitely cancel out (n-1); So, we're left with

$T_{n} = T_3$

Hence,

$T_{2020} = T_3$

Calculating $T_3$

$T_{3} = \frac{10 + 20}{2}$

$T_{3} = \frac{30}{2}$

$T_{3} = 15$

Recall that $T_{2020} = T_3$

$T_{2020} = 15$

use an example to explain how timing of reproduction in plants and animals is tied to energy availability

alisha [4.7K]

All animals and plants have evolved to time the periods of their reproduction in accordance to the available resources, or rather they are more abundant and easier to get.

Explanation:

As examples we can take the apricot tree, as a plant, and the lynx, as an animal.

The apricot tree starts the process of reproduction when the temperatures are higher and when there is more sunlight. This usually starts from the beginning or middle of March. The reason as to why the apricot starts the reproduction during this period is because the warmer weather enables the bees to come out and pollinate it, while the sunlight is crucial because as a plant the apricot uses it for the process of photosynthesis.

The lynx is member of the cat family. It is a predator so it has timed its reproduction in accordance to the reproduction of its prey. The reason for this is that the lynx will need more food when it has cubs, so it is much easier to get more food when its prey has offspring as well as they are easy target, but also the mothers tend to be more defensive and often try to stand up to the predator which also makes them much easier targets.
