Answer:

248

Step-by-step explanation:

A car rental company rented out 8 cars in its first month.

The number of cars it rented doubled each month.

The given situation forms G.P.

a = first term = 8

r = common ratio = 2

Formula of sum of first nth term in G.P. = S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n}{1-r}

Now we are supposed to find total number of cars the company rented out for the first 5 months.

Substitute n = 5

S_5=\frac{8(1-2^5)}{1-2}

S_5=248

Hence the total number of cars the company rented out for the first 5 months is 248.

The path a character takes to navigate a level of a video game is given in the following graph.
KonstantinChe [14]

We want to find the domain for the graphed function. We will see that the correct option is A: -12 ≤ x ≤ 14

<h3>What is the domain of a function?</h3>

For a function f(x) we define the domain as the set of possible inputs that we can use in the function.

In this case, we need to see the values in the horizontal axis that the graph covers.

We can see that it goes from -12 to 14. We also can see that there are two jumps, at x = -6 and at x = 8, but these values belong to the graph (denoted by the black dot) meaning that these are in the domain.

Then the domain is:

-12 ≤ x ≤ 14

In 2001 the mint indoor pool vault record was 20 and 1/6 the women’s record for the indoor pool vault was 15 and 5/12 FT what is
blondinia [14]

Answer:

35 and 7/12 feet is the combined height of the two records.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the indoor pool vault record for men = 20 and 1/6 ft =\frac{121}{6} ft

Height of indoor pool vault record for women = 15and 5/12 ft =\frac{185}{12} ft

The combined height of the two records :

\frac{121}{6} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft

\frac{121\times 2}{6\times 2} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft

\frac{242}{12} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft

\frac{242+185}{12} ft=\frac{427}{12}=35\frac{7}{12}

35 and 7/12 feet is the combined height of the two records.

Why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get bigger while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

when you multiply a whole number by itself it will obviously get bigger.

4 to the 2nd power equals 16 because 4x4 = 16

if you were to multiply a smaller number though, it wouldn't get as big.

Each number you put to the same exponent will not get bigger at the same rate since each number isnt being multiplied by the same thing.

ex. 4 and 6 are raised to the second power both dont get multiplied by the same number 4 is multiplied by 4, and 6 by 6, therefore the bigger the number the bigger it grows.

Fractions get smaller for this reason when you have the fraction 2/3 raised to the second, both numbers must be raised. 2 to the second equals 4 while 3 to the second is 9.

1/2 to the second would then equal 1/4 since 1 to the second equals 1 and 2 to the second equals 4.
