The trees at a national park have been increasing in numbers. There were 1,000 trees in the first year that the park started tracking them. Since then, there have been as many new trees each year. Create the sigma notation showing the infinite growth of the trees and find the sum, if possible. Year New trees 1 1000 2 200 3 40

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 1000 trees in the first year and every year new trees are getting added.

The sequence formed for the new trees every year is

Year 1 2 3

New trees 1000 200 40

We see a geometric sequence has been formed by the new trees added

Ratio of the second year and 1st year trees added = $(200)/(1000)=(1)/(5)$

Similarly ratio of trees added in 3rd year to 2nd year = $(40)/(200)=(1)/(5)$

So there is a common ratio of $(1)/(5)$

Explicit formula of a geometric sequence representing growth of the trees by

$T_(n)=a(r)^(n-1)$

where a = number of trees grown first year

r = common ratio

n = number of years

Explicit formula showing the growth of the trees using sigma notation will be

$\sum_(n=1)^(\infty)1000((1)/(5))^(n-1)$

And Formula for number of trees every year will be

$\sum_(n=1)^(\infty)1000+1000((1)/(5))^(n-1)$

$\sum_(n=1)^(\infty)1000[1+((1)/(5))^(n-1)]$

Sum of the trees will be

$S=(a)/(1-r)$

= $(2000)/(1-(1)/(5))$

= $(2000)/((4)/(5) )$

= $(2000* 5)/(4)$

= 2500

A jacket is on sale for 20%20% off the regular price. The sale price is $50$50. What is the regular price of the jacket?

Answers

A jacket is on sale of 20%. Now, the sale price of the said jacket is 50 dollars that is already deducted with the 20% discount.
=> 100% - 20% = 80%, thus 50 dollars is the 80% of the original price.
=> 50 dollars / 8 = 6.25 dollars is the 10% of the price.
=> 6.25 dollars * 10 = 62.5 dollars is the original price of the jacket.

Given AB || CD, what is the m

Answers

The value of x is 130° and that of y is 130° as AB and CD are parallel lines.

What is parallel lines?

Parallel lines in geometry are two lines in the same plane that are at equal distance from each other but never intersect. They can be both horizontal and vertical in orientation. Parallel lines can be found in everyday life, such as zebra crossings, notepad lines, and railway tracks. Two lines (in the same plane) are said to be parallel if they never collide, regardless matter how far they are extended on either side. Parallel lines travel parallel to each other, like train tracks.

Here,

x=180-50

x=130°

x=y

y=130°

Because AB and CD are parallel lines, the value of x is 130° and the value of y is 130°.
