Mercedes rides her bike 10 miles in the first week. she increases the distance she rides by 2 miles each week. how many miles will she ride over the course of 8 weeks?

Mercedes rides her bike 10 miles in the first week. She increases the distance she rides by 2 miles each week.

Sum them all up as an Arithmetic Series:

Sum =N/2 [2F + (N - 1)*D]

Sum =8/2 [2*10 + (8 - 1)*2]

Sum =4 [20 + (7*2)]

Sum =4 [20 + 14]

Sum =4 x 34

Sum = 136 miles - that Mercedes will ride over 8 weeks.

Have  a nice day

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
