Answer:

g(n) = 10 * 3^{n}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for table

Required

Determine the explicit formula for the table

First, we need to check if the guppies increases at arithmetic progression or geometry progression.

For arithmetic progression:

We calculate the common difference (d)

d = g(n) - g(n-1)

Take n as 1

d = g(1) - g(1-1)

d = g(1) - g(0)

From the table:

g(1) = 30\ \&\ g(0) = 10

d = 30 - 10

d = 20

Take n as 2

d = g(2) - g(1)

From the table:

g(1) = 30\ \&\ g(2) = 90

d = 90 - 30

d = 60

The two differences are not equal. So, this

For geometry progression:

We calculate the common ratio (r)

r = \frac{g(n)}{g(n-1)}

Take n as 1

r = \frac{g(1)}{g(1-1)}

r = \frac{g(1)}{g(0)}

From the table:

g(1) = 30\ \&\ g(0) = 10

r = \frac{30}{10}

r = 3

Take n as 2

r = \frac{g(2)}{g(1)}

From the table:

g(1) = 30\ \&\ g(2) = 90

r = \frac{90}{30}

r = 3

The two ratios are equal.

So, the next step is to calculate the explicit formula using n term of a geometric progression.

Because the progression starts from 0, we make use of the following formula

g(n) = g(0) * r^{n}

Substitute values for g(0) and r

g(n) = 10 * 3^{n}

Hence:

The explicit formula is: g(n) = 10 * 3^{n}

A triangle has points monkeys, giraffes, lions. The distance between lions and monkeys is 11 feet and monkey and giraffes is 16
Vanyuwa [196]

Pythagoras' theorem is a basic relationship between the three sides of a right triangle in Euclidean geometry. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

The Pythagorean theorem, sometimes known as Pythagoras' theorem, is a basic relationship between the three sides of a right triangle in Euclidean geometry. The size of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides, according to this rule.

A triangle has points to monkeys, giraffes, and lions. The distance between lions and monkeys is 11 feet and between monkeys and giraffes is 16 feet. The distance between lions and giraffes is the hypotenuse of x feet. The equation that will find the distance between the lions and giraffes is,

c² = 11² + 16²

c² = 121 + 256

c² = 377

Hence, the correct option is D.

a side of an equilateral triangle is 2/8cm long. Draw a picture that's shows the triangle. What is the perimeter of the triangle
Tom [10]
If the triangle is equilateral it means all the sides are the same length. 

A triangle has three sides. if each side is 2/8cm then the total perimeter if 3*2/8 = 6/8 = 3/4
