Mohamed decided to track the number of leaves on the tree in his backyard each year. the first year, there were 500 leaves. each year thereafter, the number of leaves was 40% more than the year before. let f(n) be the number of leaves on the tree in Mohamed's backyard in the n^th year since he started tracking it. f is a sequence. what kind of sequence is it?
Number of leaves on the tree in first year = 500
The number of leaves was 40% more than the year before.
So rate of increase is 40/100 = 0.4
We use exponential growth formula,
f(n) = a(1+r)^n
Where a is the initial number, r is the rate of growth, n is the number of years
We know a= 500, r= 0.4
f(n) = 500(1+0.4)^n
f(n) = 500(1.4)^n
Plug in n=1,2,3...
f(1) = 500
f(2) = 500 * 1.4^1
f(3) = 500 * 1.4^2 and so on
From this we can see that the common ratio is 1.4
Hence it is a Geometric sequence.

Answer:
- Ram -- ₹1200
- Kalpana -- ₹800
Step-by-step explanation:
Their age total is 15+10=25, so Ram will get 15/25 = 0.6 of the total. Kalpana will get the remaining 0.4 of the total.
Ram receives 0.6 × ₹2000 = ₹1200
Kalpana receives 0.4 × ₹2000 = ₹800
Answer:
y = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
the midsegment SV is half the length of the side TU , that is
y - 9 = 
(y + 38) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
2y - 18 = y + 38 ( subtract y from both sides )
y - 18 = 38 ( add 18 to both sides )
y = 56
Answer:
There will be 4 blue marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Yellow to blue marbles is in a ratio of:
5:10
the representative sample is:
2:x
simplee cross multiplication can be aplied
5x = 2*10
5x = 20
divide both sides by 5
x = 4
there should be four blue marbles
