There are 20 alligators in the swamp. Each year, the number of alligators increases by 25%. There are 25 crocodiles in the swamp

. Each year, 10 new crocodiles join the swamp.
Part B: How many alligators are in the swamp after 4 years? How many crocodiles are in the swamp after the same number of years?
Part C: After approximately how many years is the number of alligators and crocodiles the same? Justify your answer mathematically.

A)

A=20(1.25^t)

C=25+10t

b)

A(4)=20(1.25^4)≈48.82≈49 alligators to nearest whole alligator

C(4)=25+10(4)=65 crocodiles.

c)

20(1.25^t)=25+10t

1.25^t=1.25+0.5t

t≈7

We know that<span>
<span>Figures can be proven similar if one, or more, similarity transformations (reflections, translations, rotations, dilations) can be found that map one figure onto another. 
In this problem to prove circle 1 and circle 2 are similar, a translation and a scale factor (from a dilation) will be found to map one circle onto another.

we have that</span>
<span> Circle 1 is centered at (5,8) and has a radius of 8 centimeters
 Circle 2 is centered at (1,-2) and has a radius of 4 centimeters
</span>
step 1
<span>Move the center of the circle 1 onto the center of the circle 2
the transformation has the following rule</span>
(x,y)--------> (x-4,y-10)
so
(5,8)------> (5-4,8-10)-----> (1,-2)
so
center circle 1 is now equal to center circle 2 
<span>The circles are now concentric (they have the same center)
</span>
step 2
<span>A dilation is needed to decrease the size of circle 1 to coincide with circle 2
</span>
scale factor=radius circle 2/radius circle 1-----> 4/8----> 0.5

radius circle 1 will be=8*scale factor-----> 8*0.5-----> 4 cm
radius circle 1 is now equal to radius circle 2 

<span>A translation, followed by a dilation will map one circle onto the other, thus proving that the circles are similar

the answer is
</span>
</span>The circles are similar because you can translate Circle 1 using the transformation rule (x-4,y-10) and then dilate it using a scale factor of (0.5)

Write an recursive formula for An, the nth term of the sequence<br> 5, -2, -9,
oksian1 [2.3K]

Given:

The given sequence is:

5,-2,-9,...

To find:

The recursive formula for a_n, the nth term of the sequence.

Solution:

We have,

5,-2,-9,...

Here, the first term is 5.

-2-5=-7

-9-(-2)=-9+2

-9-(-2)=-7

The common difference is -7.

The recursive formula for the nth term of the sequence is

a_n=a_{n-1}+d

Where, d is the common difference.

Putting d=-7 in the above formula, we get

a_n=a_{n-1}+(-7)

a_n=a_{n-1}-7

Therefore, the recursive formula for the nth term of the sequence is a_n=a_{n-1}-7.
