Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive rule is a term defined in terms of other terms in the sequence.
The is a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio.
The common ratio can be found by dividing a term by previous term.
For example, all of these are equal:



They are all equal to
.
So we are saying:

More formally:
.
Multiply both sides by
:

When doing recursive form, you need to state a term of the sequence (or more depending on the recursive form you have).
So the first term is 2.
So the full thing for the answer is:


Firstly, since these two fractions have the same denominator, add the numerators up: 
While it appears that the answer is -6/4, you can further simplify it by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2: 
<u>Your answer is
</u>
3+8+10+14+11= 46
46/(how many trees) 5= 9.2
9.2 years is your answer.
The smallest number that has 1 2 3 4 5 as factors is: 3x4x5 = 60
The special name is Least Common Multiple, because 60 is the LCM of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
