Let S = Sum after 13 years
So = amount invested
t = time in years
i = annual interest rate = .0325
The S = So(1+i)t = $2,200(1.0325)13 = $3,334.21
2(2y-1)+y=3
y=1
x=2 x1 - 1
x=1
7 girls on a bus, each has two legs. 7 * 2 = 14.
Each girl has 7 backpacks. So 7 * 7 = 49.
49 * 7 = 343 cats in total
343 * 4 = 1,372 cat legs.
343 * 7 = 2401 small cats
2401 * 4 = 9,604 cat legs
14 + 1,372 + 2,401, + 9,604 = 10,990 legs in total
Answer:
<u>Part 1:</u>
For Platinum Gym:
90 + 30x
For Super Fit Gym:
200 + 20x
<u>Part 2:</u> $270
<u>Part 3:</u> $320
<u>Part 4:</u> 11 months
<u>Part 5:</u> See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part 1:</u>
Let "x" be the number of months:
For Platinum Gym:
90 + 30x
For Super Fit Gym:
200 + 20x
<u>Part 2:</u>
We put x = 6 in platinum gym's equation and get our answer.
90 + 30x
90 + 30(6)
90 + 180
=$270
<u>Part 3:</u>
We put x = 6 into super fit's equation and get our answer.
200 + 20x
200 + 20(6)
200 + 120
=$320
<u>Part 4:</u>
To find the number of months for both gyms to cost same, we need to equate both equations and solve for x:
90 + 30x = 200 + 20x
10x = 110
x = 11
So 11 months
<u>Part 5:</u>
We know for 11 months, they will cost same. Let's check for 10 months and 12 months.
In 10 months:
Platinum = 90 + 30(10) = 390
Super Fit = 200 + 20(10) = 400
In 12 months:
Platinum = 90 + 30(12) = 450
Super Fit = 200 + 20(12) = 440
Thus, we can see that Platinum Gym is a better deal if you want to get membership for months less than 11 and Super Fit is a better deal if you want to get membership for months greater than 11.
Let's say we placed dominoes close together such that they only fell over one way: to the right hand side. Let's call the dominoes A and B.
Domino A is to the left of domino B. If we push over domino A, then it will hit domino B to cause it to fall over as well. We have a mini chain reaction of sorts. The fall of A triggers the fall of B, but not the other way around.
For this problem, we can think of domino A as "Jillian gets a raise" and domino B as "she will buy a new car". The raise causes her to get a new car, but not vice versa.
Since we're told in the last sentence she definitely got the raise, this must mean she will definitely get the new car.
In terms of symbols, the law of detachment is stated as
- If P, then Q
- P is true
- Therefore Q is true
Side note: some books might use the term "modus ponens" instead of "law of detachment". They're the same thing.
