Answer:

10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that One year after you buy a tree, it is 10 feet tall. Thus, it's initial height after 1 year is 10 ft.

Now we are told that each year after you buy the tree, it grows 2 feet. This means that it's height after you bought it was; f(0) = 10 - 2 = 8ft

Thus,

f(1) = 8 + 2 = 10

f(2) = 8 + 2 + 2 = 12

f(3) = 8 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14

The pattern here is;

f(x) = 8 + 2x

Where x is number of years

Thus, for it to reach a maximum height of 28 ft;

28 = 8 + 2x

Subtract 8 from both sides to give;

28 - 8 = 2x

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10 years

ryan can build 4 desks in one day and larry can build 4 desks in 2 days. if larry starts work one day before ryan, how long will
MissTica
You can make an equation with this information using a variable for the number of days and solve for that variable. Here we can use d to represent days.

Ryan can build 4 desks in a day, so you could express his production as 4d.

Larry can build 4 desks in 2 days, so you could say he makes 2 desks in 1 day, expressed as 2d.

If Larry starts work one day before Ryan, he's made an extra 2 desks. To get 32 desks, you need to add together those 2 desks Larry made, however many desks Larry can make, and however many desks Ryan can make:

2 + 4d + 2d = 32.

Then just simplify and solve:

6d = 30
d = 5.

It'll take 5 days for them to make 32 desks. Hope this helps! Please rate this answer as brainliest if you liked it!! thank you!!!

Find the sum of the first 40 terms of a geometric sequence where the first term is 16 and the common ratio is 1.1. 704 7,081.480
Lilit [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric progression can be determined by using the formula:

Tn=arn−1

where: a = first term and r = common ratio

Substitute the given values of first term and common ratio into the formula:

Tn=arn−1

T5=(40)(0.5)5−1

T5=(40)(0.5)4

T5=(40)(0.0625)

T5=2.5

-4x + 6y = 12
x + 2y = -10

First solve for x in the second equation

x + 2y = -10
x = -10 - 2y

Now we have a value for x so we can substitute it into the other equation

-4 (-10 - 2y) + 6y = 12

Now solve for y

40 + 8y + 6y = 12
40 + 14y = 12
14y = -28
y = -2

Now we have a value for y that we can plug into one of the original equations so we can solve for x

x + 2y = -10
x + 2(-2) = -10
x - 4 = -10
x = -6

Your solution set is

(-6, -2)
