Mohamed decided to track the number of leaves on the tree in his back yard each year. This year there were 500 leaves. Each year after the number of leaves was 40% more than the year before. Let f(n) be the number of leaves on the tree in mohameds back yard in the nth year since he started tracking it. F is a sequence was kind of sequence is it?

Geometric sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Leaves on tree this year (a) = 500

Rate of increase in leaves per year (r) = 40 % or 0.4

Let n be the number of years.

So we use exponential growth formula, i.e.

f(n) = a(1+r)^n

by putting the value, we get

f(n) = 500 ( 1+0.4)^n

or f(n) = 500 (1.4)^n

So, the common ration is 1.4.

Thus, it shows a geometric sequence.
