Answer:

10 spiders and 12 ants

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to create two equations

s = # of spiders

a = # of ants

s + a = 22 heads

since each spider and ant has one head

8s + 6a = 152 legs

since every spider has 8 legs and every ant has 6

s + a = 22 can be turned into s = 22 - a

now use substitution

8(22 - a) + 6a = 152

176 - 8a + 6a = 152

176 - 2a = 152

24 = 2a

a = 12

now that you have the number of ants you can solve for the number of spiders

s + a = 22

s + 12 = 22

s = 10

WILL GIVE BRAINEST<br>Identify one characteristic of exponential decay.
Pepsi [2]
A. This is true. If 0 < r < 1, then we have decay. For example, if r = 0.5 then we cut each term in half to get successive new terms (10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, etc etc)

B. False. Common differences apply to arithmetic sequences which are not exponential in nature. 

C. False. Decay curves slope downward. As you read them from left to right, they will drop down. 

D. False. If r > 1, then we have exponential growth. It is effectively the opposite of choice A.

----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

So in summary, the final answer is choice A

Peter decides to invest $1,200,000 in a period annuity that earns 4.6% APR compounded monthly for a period of 20 years. How much
ad-work [718]

Given is the Present Value of annuity, PV = 1,200,000 dollars.

Given that 4.6% APR compounded monthly i.e. r = 4.6%/12 = 0.003833

Given that 20 years of investment i.e. N = 20x12 = 240

It says to find monthly income from the annuity.

We know the formula for Periodic Payment (when PV is known) is given as follows :-

Periodic \;payment = \frac{PV}{\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^{N}}}{r}}    \\\\Periodic \;payment = \frac{1,200,000}{\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.003833)^{240}}}{0.003833}}    \\\\Periodic \;payment = \frac{1,200,000}{\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1.003833)^{240}}}{0.003833}}    \\\\Periodic \;payment = \frac{1,200,000}{\frac{1-\frac{1}{2.504681211}}{0.003833}}    \\\\Periodic \;payment = \frac{1,200,000}{\frac{1-0.399252406}{0.003833}}    \\\\Periodic \;payment = \frac{1,200,000}{\frac{0.600747594}{0.003833}}

Periodic \;payment = \frac{1,200,000}{156.7303924}    \\\\Periodic \;payment = 7656.460128    \\\\Periodic \;payment = 7656.46 \;dollars \;per \;month

Hence, Monthly Income would be 7,656.46 dollars.
