The given formula is f(x) = 20(1.2)^x
The formula is the starting amount multiplied by 1 + the percentage raised to the number of weeks.
A) the percent increase is 20% ( 1.2 in the formula is 1 +20% as a decimal)
B) the original amount is $20
C) for 2 weeks, replace x with 2 and solve:
20(1.2)^2
20(1.44) = $28.80
After 2 weeks the coupon is $28.80
D) To solve for the number of weeks (x) set the equation equal to $100:
100 = 20(1.2)^x
Divide both sides by 20:
5 = 1.2^x
Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
ln(5) = ln(1.2^x)
Use the logarithm rule to remove the exponent:
ln(5) = x ln(1.2)
Divide both sides by ln(1.2)
x = ln(5) / ln(1.2)
Divide:
X = 8.83
At 8.83 weeks the coupon would be $100, so after 9 weeks the coupon would be greater than $100
The answer is 9 weeks.
Answer:
Θ = 46°
Step-by-step explanation:
the angle between a tangent and a radius at the point of contact is 90° , so
∠ ABO = 90°
since OB = OD ( radii of circle ) then Δ BOD is isosceles and
∠ OBD = ∠ ODB = 22°
the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
∠ AOB is an exterior angle of the triangle , then
∠ AOB = 22° + 22° = 44°
the sum of the 3 angles in Δ AOB = 180° , then
Θ + 44° + 90° = 180°
Θ + 134° = 180° ( subtract 134° from both sides )
Θ = 46°

Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question we need to set up an equation.
Let's name the number of incorrect answers x.
<u>We can set up an equation that's essentially:</u>
(Points for correct answer)*(number of correct answers)+(points for incorrect answer)*(number of incorrect answers)=final score
When we plug in our numbers and variables it looks like this:
5(3)+(-2x)=-15
Simplify
15-2x=-15
Subtract 15 from both sides
-2x=-30
Divide both sides by -2
x=15
This means Smitha attempted 15 wrong answers, and that there were 18 questions in total.
In my work I used t=trains and m=minutes:

1:30+1:30+1:30+1:30+1:30+1:30+1:30+1:30+1:30+1:30+1:30+1:30= 4 o' clock
Total= 372m/12t
24t+12t= 36t
The answer is:
36 trains in total</span>
