Answer:
She needs to descend 20 feet per descent.
Step-by-step explanation:
100/5 = 20
I’m sorry but I can’t see it. Message me the licture
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
Answer: In June 2097
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the model, to find how many years t should take for
we must solve the equation
. Substracting 21100 from both sides, this equation is equivalent to
.
Using the quadratic formula, the solutions are
and
. The solution
can be neglected as the time t is a nonnegative number, therefore
.
The value of t is approximately 85 and a half years and the initial time of this model is the January 1, 2012. Adding 85 years to the initial time gives the date January 2097, and finally adding the remaining half year (six months) we conclude that the date is June 2097.
It’s 192% because you just need to remove all the points :) hope i helped
