The sequence is geometric, so
for some constant r. From this rule, it follows that
and we can determine the first term to be
Now, by substitution we have
and so on down to (D)
(notice how the exponent on r and the subscript on a add up to n)
100-15= 85%

Did this make sense or would you like me to explain some more about something you are still not understanding? Please comment below :)
Answer:
After 1 year, both the tress will be of the same height.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume in x years, both trees have same height.
Type A is 7 feet tall and grows at a rate of 8 inches per year.
⇒The growth of tree A in x years = x times ( Height growth each year)
= 8 (x) = 8 x
⇒Actual height of tree A in x years = Initial Height + Growth in x years
= 7 + 8 x
or, the height of tree A after x years = 7 + 8x
Type B is 9 feet tall and grows at a rate of 6 inches per year.
⇒The growth of tree B in x years = x times ( Height growth each year)
= 6 (x) = 6 x
⇒Actual height of tree B in x years = Initial Height + Growth in x years
= 9 + 6 x
or, the height of tree B after x years = 9 + 6x
According to the question:
After x years, Height of tree A =Height of tree B
⇒7 + 8x = 9 + 6x
or, 8x - 6x = 9 - 7
or, 2 x = 2
or, x = 2/2 = 1 ⇒ x = 1
Hence, after 1 year, both the tress will be of the same height.
