Answer:

17.25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain type of conifer hedging increases in height by 17% each year for the first 20 years.When i bought some of this hedging, it was all about 50cm tall. How long will it take to grow 3m tall?

Step 1

We make sure all parameters have the same units, hence:

We convert 3m to cm

1 m = 100cm

3m = x

Cross Multiply

x = 3 × 100cm

x = 300cm

Step 2

To solve this question, we use the formula for Exponential growth =

y = a (1 + r) ^t

Where:

y = Size after time t = 3m = 300cm

a = Initial size of the tree = 20 cm

r = Growth rate = 17%

t = Time in years = ??

300 = 20 (1 + 0.17)^t

300 = 20(1.17) ^t

Divide both sides by 20

300/20 = 20(1.17) ^t/20

15 = 1.17^t

Take the Natural logarithm of both sides

In 15 = 1n 1.17^t

In 15 = t 1n 1.17

t = In 15/In 1.17

t = 17.248315544 years

Approximately = 17.25 years

The one that makes most sense is the last one, but I would define it as "Two times some number divided by 4".

Find the 10th term of a geometric sequence whose first tow terms are 2 and -8
gavmur [86]

Answer:

<h2>t10 = - 2¹⁹= -524288</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

t1=2

t2=-8

r=t2/t1=-8/2=-4

t10=t1*r⁹

t10=2*(-4)⁹= -2*(2²)⁹

t10= -2¹⁹= -524288

I NEED HELP WITH 16 17 AND 18
pickupchik [31]

Answers and Step-by-step explanations:

16. Yes; we can see that AB || CD, so by definition of alternate angles, angles BAE and CDE are equal. In addition, angles AEB and CED are vertical angles, so by definition, they are congruent. Then by the AA Similarity Theorem, triangles AEB and CED are similar.

17. No; we see that KL = NO and that angles KLJ and NOM are congruent. However, there is no other indication (whether it's same angles or corresponding sides with the same ratio) that we can use to prove the two triangles are similar. So, these triangles are not similar.

18. Yes; we can see that ML || PO, so by definition of corresponding angles, angles NML and NPO are equal. In addition, we can obviously see that angles MNL and PNO are literally the same angle. So by AA Similarity Theorem, triangles MNL and PNO are similar.

Hope this helps!
