A tree growth modelled by a geometric series 2012-02-08
Steph pose la question :
Hi I am really struggling with this question please help !!!!
a pohutukawa tree is 86 centimetres when it is planted. in the first year after it is planted , the tree grows 42 centimetres in height.Each year the tree grows in height by 95% of the growth of the previous year. assume that the growth in height of the pohutukawa tree can be modelled by a geometric sequence.
A)find the height of the tree 5 years after it is planted and figure out the maximum height the pohutukawa tree is expected to reach in centimetres

0.151515...=15/99 2008-09-08
Emma pose la question :
This week, my Algebra teacher told us about the pattern between infinitely repeating decimals and their corresponding fractions. (ex. .2222222...= 2/9, .151515...=15/99, 456456456...=456/999, etc.) I was just wondering the reason why this pattern occurs. Is there a certain element that causes this pattern to occur?
Thanks
-Emma

Find the total distance the swing traveled before it stopped. 2006-12-17
Leah pose la question :
Rebecca's little sister liked for her to push her in the swing at the park. The other day Rebecca pulled the swing back and let it go. She would have kept pushing, but she suddenly saw a friend at the other end of the park. The swing traveled a total distance of 10 feet before heading back the other way. Each swing afterwards was only 80% as long as the previous one. Find the total distance the swing traveled before it stopped.
