That sucks they should've worked harder
-6x is the correct answer
Yes. The numerator does not increase as fast as the denominator increases, causing the function's value to decrease with every subsequent increase in the value of k. This causes the function to converge at a point.
Do you notice anything strange about those points ?
(0, 1),
(1, 2),
(2, 4),
(3, 8).
The y-coordinate of each point is (2) raised to the power of the x-coordinate.
First point: x=0, y=2⁰ = 1
Second point: x=1, y=2¹ = 2
Third point: x=2, y=2² = 4
Fourth point: x=3, y=2³ = 8
The equation of the curve appears to be
y = 2 ^ x .
So, after 10 hours, x=10, and y = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 .
Answer:
Kevin will earn the money before than Philip
Philip needs at least 4 weeks
Kevin needs at least 3 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call x to the number of weeks
Philip works 6 hours each weekend, which means 6 hours per week, earning $8.75 per hour, which is equivalent to 6*8.75 = $52.5 per week
Philip has already saved $45. Then he needs the next number of weeks:
52.5*x + 45 = 225
x = (225 - 45)/52.5
x = 3.4
Philip needs at least 4 weeks
Kevin works 3 hours per day for 3 days a week, which means 9 hours per week, earning $7.5 per hour, which is equivalent to 9*7.5 = $67.5 per week
Kevin has already saved $30. Then he needs the next number of weeks:
67.5*x + 30 = 225
x = (225 - 30)/67.5
x = 2.9
Kevin needs at least 3 weeks
