Compare the total number of deaths due to skin cancer expected between 2000 and 2050, if the progression were geometric and if the progression were arithmetic.

Step-by-step explanation:

If total number of deaths per year is progressive with arithmetic pattern then sum of n terms

, where a is artithmetic series I term and d is the common difference.

If geometric the sum of

where r is the geometric ratio.

Whenever r >1 we find that geometric progression's sum would be far greater than arithmetic sum

But if r <1, the reverse will happen.

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
