Given:
First term of an arithmetic sequence is 2.
Sum of first 15 terms = 292.5
To find:
The common difference.
Solution:
We have,
First term:
Sum of first 15 terms:
The formula of sum of first n terms of an AP is
Where, a is first term and d is common difference.
Putting , n=15 and a=2 in the above formula, we get
Divide both sides by 15.
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
Therefore, the common difference is 2.5.
So, let's first focus on the first year:
the population then would be: 23000* (100+2)%
100% is the old population the 2% is the incease, so in total it's 102%, or 1.02 - the same number written differently.
So it will be 23000*1.02
After two years it will be 23000*1.02*1.02, and so on
so after x years it will be:
y=23000*
the population then would be: 23000* (100+2)%
100% is the old population the 2% is the incease, so in total it's 102%, or 1.02 - the same number written differently.
So it will be 23000*1.02
After two years it will be 23000*1.02*1.02, and so on
so after x years it will be:
y=23000*
