Question

A certain species of tree grows an average of 0.5 cm per week. Write an equation for the sequence that represents the weekly height of this tree in centimeters if the measurements begin when the tree is 800 centimeters tall

Answer 1

shud be able to times that by the week.. o.5 times by the week number

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

its 52 weeks in a year. startin at 800 after 52 weeks how much have the tree grown

Answer 4

goin by ur statement. if it grows 0.5cm a week for a year how much is that

Answer 5

182? I really do not know that is why I asked for help.

Answer 6

decimals we are dealin with right.. so its 52 weeks in a year, 0.5 x 52 equal 26..

but that's just for a year?? idk how long u have to go.. but if it grows for a year. startin at 800.. ?? answer will be???



say it lol

Answer 7

you kno it .. I just don't wanna give u the answer.. cause this site is to help u learn it.. but I can give u lots of clues

Answer 8

Laughing out loud... Hold on.

Answer 9

It's difficult because I have to put it in this formula: tn=800+(n-1)0.5, then simplify it.

Answer 10

wow u actually spelled it ;lol

ok I see formula. does it tell u how long ?? like if it grew for 6months ex.

Answer 11

I know, everyone questions me on that. Not really, that's the problem.

Answer 12

By the way, the question just asks for an equation for the sequence that represents the weekly height of this tree in centimeters.

Answer 13

yeah... smh well if it grow for a year its 26cm being 0.5 x 52 = 26

so lets try

n=800+(n-1)0.5 n wud b 26

n=800+(26-1)0.5
(25)0.5
n=800+12.5 ???

Answer 14

oh ok that right there shud work for you.. being that you complete it

Answer 15

I don't know if I should question you, because it asked for a weekly growth, that part is confusing me.

Answer 16

okay that's why I said 52 to weeks.. its on u to mark each one at 0.5 week 1 800.5cm

week2 801cm etc.. u understand now?? I use multi. cuz it was faster

Answer 17

week 52 826cm

Answer 18

Okay, that makes more sense. Thank You.

Answer 19

you prolly wont hav to go that high. cuz they will see where you going w it

Answer 20

One more thing, when you were simplifying the equation, why did you put question marks.
n=800+12.5 ???

Answer 21

and your Welcome just tryna help ;)

Answer 22

because I was solving the equation.. lol but u dnt need to solve it u just need the equation

Answer 23

Okay. Once again Thank You :)
