The height of a tree is 10
10
meters long and it grows 1
1
cm in a year.
Then its height after one year = 10
10
meters 1

Its height after 3

years = 10
10
meters 3

Its height after 6
6
years = 10
10

Its height after x

years = 10
10

Where x
x
represents an unknown number. From the last line, we can find height of the tree after a certain number of years by taking x
x
equal to that number. For example, we simply let x=15
x
=
15
, 25
25
and 55
55
. Thus, the value of x
x
depends on our choice. We can give x
x
any value or number we want. In other words, the value of x
x
is not fixed, it varies from one situation to the other. Therefore, we call x
x
a variable whereas 10
10
is a fixed number whole value does not change. So 10
10
therefore is called a constant.

Answer: 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the probability that the disk chosen is 5/25, thus can be written in decimal as 0.2.
This means that in a bag of 15 colored plastics discs with different colors, the probability of picking a yellow colored disk is 0.2.
Answer:
45.1
Step-by-step explanation:
The original amount is 82
But the wrong amount is 45
So we will have to calculate the percentage for the error
82-45
37
So %error= 37/82 ×100
=3700/82
=45.121~45.1( to nearest tenth)
So the final answer is 45.1%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
step 1
Eliminate the parenthesis
The symbol of the term 3x is incorrect, must be positive instead of negative
so
Group terms that contain the same variable
Combine like terms
From 100 to 80 is 8/10, so the recursive formula is
an=a(n-1)*1/8
or
an= a1*1/8(n-1)
an=a1*(n-1)/8
