Question

A local lake has a fish population that follows a geometric series with these properties first time equals 48 ratio equals 1/4 determine what does sun would be for the upper limit of this population after you create the sigma notation set up for it

Answer 1

64.

Explanation:

Sigma notation is ∑48(1/4)^(n-1).

Upper limit = a1 / (1 - r) where a1 = initial population and r = common ratio.

So it is 48 / (1 - 1/4)

= 48 / 3/4

= 48 * 4/3

= 64.
