Answer:

1. a = 5400

2. r = 0.96

3. Percentage decrement = 65.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

N = ar^t

Solving (a): Write down the value of a

a implies the first term

And from the question, we understand that the initial number of trees is 5400.

Hence,

a = 5400

Solving (b): Show that r = 0.96

Using

N = ar^t

When a = 5400, t = 1 i.e. the first year and N = 5184

Substitute these values in the above expression

5184 = 5400 * r¹

5184 = 5400 * r

5184 = 5400r

Solve for r

r = 5184/5400

r = 0.96

Solving (c): Show that the trees has decreased by over 65% in 2040

First, we need to calculate number of years (t) in 2040

t = 2040 - 2014

t = 26

Substitute 26 for t, 5400 for a and 0.96 for r in N = ar^t to get the number of trees left

N = 5400 * 0.96^26

N = 1868.29658019

N = 1868 (approximated)

Next, we calculate the percentage change as thus:

%Change = (Final - Initial)/Initial * 100%

Where the initial number of trees =5400 and final = 1868

%Change = (1868 - 5400)/5400 * 100%

%Change = -3532/5400 * 100%

%Change = -3532%/54

%Change = -65.4%

The negative sign indicates a decrements or reduction.

Hence, percentage decrement = 65.4% and this is over 65%

Li Ping says a square with 3 inch sides has greater area than a parallelogram that is not a square but has sides that have the s
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Li Ping's statement makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square with side lengths a inches is given by, A_1 = a^{2}.

Now, the area of a parallelogram with equal sides a inches, which is not a square is given by, A_2 = ah, where, h is the perpendicular distance between the opposite sides.

See the diagram attached.

Since a is the hypotenuse of as right triangle with height h, hence, a > h.

So, A_1 > A_2

Therefore, Li Ping's statement makes sense. (Answer)
