Answer: altitude at starting point is -11ft or 11ft below sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation for this situation will be
A = Ag - 11
A = actual altitude
Ag = altitude gained.
At starting point, altitude gained is zero, therefore;
A = 0 - 11
A = -11ft
Answer:
theres nothing there
Step-by-step explanation:
The Answer is -3/2
Below is how I got that answer
(-12) / 6+2
-12/ 8 (Simplify the problem by adding 6 and 2, remove the parenthesis).
-3/2 (Simplify -12/8 by dividing it by 4)
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
