Mohamed decided to track the number of leaves on the tree in his backyard each year. the first year, there were 500 leaves. each year thereafter, the number of leaves was 40% more than the year before. let f(n) be the number of leaves on the tree in Mohamed's backyard in the n^th year since he started tracking it. f is a sequence. what kind of sequence is it?
Number of leaves on the tree in first year = 500
The number of leaves was 40% more than the year before.
So rate of increase is 40/100 = 0.4
We use exponential growth formula,
f(n) = a(1+r)^n
Where a is the initial number, r is the rate of growth, n is the number of years
We know a= 500, r= 0.4
f(n) = 500(1+0.4)^n
f(n) = 500(1.4)^n
Plug in n=1,2,3...
f(1) = 500
f(2) = 500 * 1.4^1
f(3) = 500 * 1.4^2 and so on
From this we can see that the common ratio is 1.4
Hence it is a Geometric sequence.
Answer:
it is at sea level because 0 meters above sea level indicates that it has not changed from sea level
You wanna cross out numbers if they can both divide by the same number. then multiply the numbers in the same row together
Are you looking for the percentage? If you are, then you just have to find 8/9, which is about 0.89, or 89%.
Answer: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of candy Ed took be denoted as "x"
Since Joe ate twice the amount of candy Ed ate, then the number of candies joe ate will be denoted as "2x"
Since all together they ate a total of 48 candies, then the sum of the candies eaten by Joe and Ed is what gives a total of 48
This means:
2x + x = 48
3x = 48
X = 16.
