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.

3 a western beach is reducing width by 10 feet every 5 years for the first 10 years the patter then became less constant dunes b
Anna71 [15]

A. Western Beach is reducing was width by 10 feet every 5 years for the first 10 years, then the pattern became less constant. Dunes Beach experienced a stable and fast increase in width, 25 feet every 5 years of 5 feet per year.

B. Somewhere between years 11 and 12 they had the same width.

C. You can place the values on a graph and connect the points, and look at the intersections to determine points in time where they were of the same width.

First, lets look at the data. Western Beach (or WB for short) decreases its width by 10 feet every 5 years from year 0 to year 10. Between year 11 and year 15 the pattern shifts and becomes less changing since there is barely any change between years 12 and 15. Dunes Beach (or DB) increases steadily by 25 feet every 5 years or 5 feet per year.

Assuming the changes in width happen over time and gradually, at some point between year 10 and 11, both beaches would have likely had the same width, somewhere between 70 and 75.

To determine the exact point in time where they meet we would need to draw a graph, with the width in feet on the X axis and the year on the Y axis. Then we place all the pairs in the graph by their coordinates, and connect the points that correspond to each beach. We then see where the lines intersect and use mathematics to determine the values of X and Y, giving us the time and width when the two beaches were equal.

Y =  7x +  3 <br> what is the X and Y intercepts
Neko [114]
To find the x intercept,plug a zero in for y and solve.
To find the y intercept,plug a zero in for x and solve.
y = 7x + 3
g = 7(0)+3
y = 3
(0,3)

y = 7x + 3
0 = 7x + 3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-3 = 7x
Divide both sides by 7
-3/7 = x
(-3/7, 0)

Thomas invested $1498.00 at 6% simple interest per annum calculate How long it will be before his investment earns $449.40
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

t = 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the simple interest formula:  i = prt, where p is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and is the elapsed time, in years.

Here we want to know how long it will take for the interest alone to reach $449.40.  We first solve i = prt for t, obtaining t = i/(pr).

Here, the length of time is t = ($449.40) / (0.06*$1498.00).  This works out to

t = 5.9947, or approximately 6 years.

t = 6 years
