A tree grows exactly one half meter in height per year. The tree is currently 8 meters tall. If someone hammers a nail into the tree at a height of exactly 2 meters, how high will the nail be after 12 years of growth

2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

--- initial

--- rate

Required

The height of the nail after 12 years

The top of the tree will continue growing at the given rate, however, the height of the nail will remain unchanged.

This is so because when trees grow, they grow from the top; i.e. the heights are increased at the top while the bottom remains unchanged.

Hence, the height of the nail after 12 years in 2m

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.
