Although the number of new wildflowers is decreasing, the total number of flowers is increasing every year (assuming flowers aren't dying or otherwise being removed). Every year, 25% of the number of new flowers from the previous year are added.
The sigma notation would be:
∑ (from n=1 to ∞) 4800 * (1/4)ⁿ , where n is the year.
Remember that this notation should give us the sum of all new flowers from year 1 to infinite, and the values of new flowers for each year should match those given in the table for years 1, 2, and 3
This means the total number of flowers equals:
Year 1: 4800 * 1/4 = 1200 ]
+
Year 2: 4800 * (1/4)² = 300
+
Year 3: 4800 * (1/4)³ = 75
+
Year 4: 4800 * (1/4)⁴ = 18.75 = ~19 (we can't have a part of a flower)
+
Year 5: 4800 * (1/4)⁵ = 4.68 = ~ 5
+
Year 6: 4800 * (1/4)⁶ = 1.17 = ~1
And so on. As you can see, it in the years that follow the number of flowers added approaches zero. Thus, we can approximate the infinite sum of new flowers using just Years 1-6:
1200 + 300 + 75 + 19 + 5 + 1 = 1,600
Probability of an Ace= 4/52
Probability of a King = 4/52
Probability of an Ace or a King = P(Ace) + P(King)
=4/52 +4/52
=8/52

1 white shirt
1 black shirt
1 blue shirt
1 blue pant
1 tan pant
There are 5 total articles of clothing and 2 that he could end up wearing (white shirt & tan pants)
so the probability equals 2/5
Hi there! Use the following identities below to help with your problem.
What we know is our tangent value. We are going to use the tan²θ+1 = sec²θ to find the value of cosθ. Substitute tanθ = 4 in the second identity.
As we know, sec²θ = 1/cos²θ.
And thus,
Since the given domain is 180° < θ < 360°. Thus, the cosθ < 0.
Then use the Identity of sinθ = tanθcosθ to find the sinθ.
Answer
- sinθ = -4sqrt(17)/17 or A choice.
