Although the number of new wildflowers is decreasing, the total number of flowers is increasing every year (assuming flowers aren't dying or otherwise being removed). Every year, 25% of the number of new flowers from the previous year are added.
The sigma notation would be:
∑ (from n=1 to ∞) 4800 * (1/4)ⁿ , where n is the year.
Remember that this notation should give us the sum of all new flowers from year 1 to infinite, and the values of new flowers for each year should match those given in the table for years 1, 2, and 3
This means the total number of flowers equals:
Year 1: 4800 * 1/4 = 1200 ]
+
Year 2: 4800 * (1/4)² = 300
+
Year 3: 4800 * (1/4)³ = 75
+
Year 4: 4800 * (1/4)⁴ = 18.75 = ~19 (we can't have a part of a flower)
+
Year 5: 4800 * (1/4)⁵ = 4.68 = ~ 5
+
Year 6: 4800 * (1/4)⁶ = 1.17 = ~1
And so on. As you can see, it in the years that follow the number of flowers added approaches zero. Thus, we can approximate the infinite sum of new flowers using just Years 1-6:
1200 + 300 + 75 + 19 + 5 + 1 = 1,600
Answer:
C, D, E
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the area of the cone we need to find the radius first.
tan 70=r/12
r=12tan 70
area of a circle is given by:
A=πr²
thus the area of the ground covered by the tent will be:
A=π(12tan70)²
The answer is
A] A=π(12tan70°)²
Answer:
B. -50+15t>5
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the hiker climbs at a rate of 15 feet per minute, the hiker will climb 15t feet in t minutes. Therefore, -50 + 15t would represent where the hiker would be after t minutes. According to the problem, -50 + 15t is greater than 5
