It says priya's family exchanged 250 dollars for 4,250 pesos. Riya bought a sweater for 510 pesos. how many did the sweater cost?
Mohamed decided to track the number of leaves on the tree in his backyard each year. the first year, there were 500 leaves. each year thereafter, the number of leaves was 40% more than the year before. let f(n) be the number of leaves on the tree in Mohamed's backyard in the n^th year since he started tracking it. f is a sequence. what kind of sequence is it?
Number of leaves on the tree in first year = 500
The number of leaves was 40% more than the year before.
So rate of increase is 40/100 = 0.4
We use exponential growth formula,
f(n) = a(1+r)^n
Where a is the initial number, r is the rate of growth, n is the number of years
We know a= 500, r= 0.4
f(n) = 500(1+0.4)^n
f(n) = 500(1.4)^n
Plug in n=1,2,3...
f(1) = 500
f(2) = 500 * 1.4^1
f(3) = 500 * 1.4^2 and so on
From this we can see that the common ratio is 1.4
Hence it is a Geometric sequence.

Question Explanation:
In other words you can write 200,00 using a whole number and a power 10 using scientific notation!
In scientific notation you want a number less than 10 multiplied by 10 to the power of a number.
-----------------------------------
Solution:
200,000 / 10 = 20,000
20,000 / 10 = 2,000
2,000 / 10 = 200
200 / 10 = 20
20 / 10 = 2
I divided 200,000 by 10 five times to get a number less than 10.
So, 5 is going to be the exponent.

Answer:
2 x 10^5
