Answer:
The required recursive formula is

Step-by-step explanation:
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 so that means

For the third year the number of leaves increase 40% than the year before so that means

Similarly for fourth year,

So we can clearly see the pattern here
Let f(n) be the number of leaves on the tree in Mohameds back yard in the nth year since he started tracking it then general recursive formula is

This is the required recursive formula to find the number of leaves for the nth year.
Bonus:
Lets find out the number of leaves in the 10th year,

So there will be 10330 leaves in the 10th year.
Answer: 5 the gcf is 5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the side mentioned (IJ), we need to use SOH CAH TOA.
SOH CAH TOA is an acronym to help us remember what sin, cos, and tan mean. It stands for:
Sin = Opposite / Hypotenuse
Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
Tan = Opposite / Adjacent
Since we know the measure of angle K (42) and we know one of the sides, we can use this to find the missing length.
Since the side given to us is the hypotenuse, and we're looking for the side opposite of the angle (IJ), the only possible one to use would be SIN as it includes Opposite and Hypotenuse.
Our equation is now this: 
Let's now solve for x.
Therefore, the length of IJ will be around 2.01.
Hope this helped!
Y-x =17
y = -x + 17
substitute this into the second equation
y = 4x + 2
-x + 17 = 4x + 2
0= 5x -15
15/5 = 5x/5
3 = x
