Cecelia studied for the SAT for 20 minutes every day in the first week, 30 minutes in the second week, 40 minutes in the third w

eek, and 50 minutes in the fourth week.
Christopher studied for the SAT for 5 minutes every day in the first week, 10 minutes in the second week, 20 minutes in the third week, and 40 minutes in the fourth week.

Which statement best describes the methods used by Cecelia and Christopher to increase the time they spent studying?

A. Cecelia's method is exponential because the number of minutes increased by an equal number every week.

B. Christopher's method is exponential because the number of minutes increased by an equal factor every week.

C. Both Christopher's and Cecelia's methods are linear because the number of minutes increased by an equal factor every week.

D. Both Christopher's and Cecelia's methods are linear because the number of minutes increased by an equal number every week.

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cecelia studied for the SAT for 20 minutes every day in the first week, 30 minutes in the 2nd week, 40 minutes in 3rd week and 50 minutes in 5th week.

So the sequence formed is 20, 30, 40, 50

This sequence has a common difference of T_{2}-T_{1}=30-20=10

T_{3}-T_{2}=40-30=10

Therefore, this sequence is an arithmetic sequence or linear sequence.

Christopher studied for the SAT for 5 minutes every day in the first week, 10 minutes in 2nd week, 20 minutes in 3rd, 40 minutes in 4th week.

Sequence formed is 5, 10, 20, 40.

It's an exponential or geometric sequence which has a common ratio

r = \frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}}=\frac{T_{3} }{T_{2}}

 = \frac{20}{10}=2

Therefore, Option B will be the answer.

Answer:

A. Cecelia method is exponential becuase the number of minutes increased by an equal number every week

Step-by-step explanation:

Celelias study method went from 20 to 30 to 40 to 50 on the other hand Christopher's method went from 5 to 10 to 20 to 40 my personal thought would be that Cecelias method increased by a equal amount

Correct me if I am wrong ...

Have a great day! :)

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

-10x² - 7x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract:

  • -5x² - 8x - 1 - (5x² - x - 8)
  • -5x² - 5x² - 8x + x - 1 + 8
  • -10x² - 7x + 7

Remember: subtracting a negative number is adding that number

ABCD- parallelogram, If the perimeter of Triangle CPQ is 15cm, Find the perimeter of triangle BAQ. Find the perimeter of triangl
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (has 4 sides and 4 angle) with two pair of parallel and opposite sides. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal.

Given parallelogram ABCD:

AB = CD = 18 cm; BC = AD = 8 cm

∠P = ∠P, ∠PDA = ∠PCQ (corresponding angles are equal).

Hence ΔPCQ and ΔPDA are similar by angle-angle similarity theorem. For similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding sides equal. Therefore:

\frac{CD}{PC}= \frac{AD}{CQ}\\\\\frac{18}{6}=\frac{8}{x}  \\\\x=\frac{6*8}{18}=\frac{8}{3}\ cm

Perimeter of CPQ = CP + CQ + PQ

15 = 6 + 8/3 + PQ

PQ = 15 - (6 + 8/3)

PQ = 6.33

∠CQP = ∠AQB (vertical angles), ∠QCP = ∠QBA (alternate angles are equal).

Hence ΔCPQ and ΔABQ are similar by angle-angle similarity theorem

\frac{AQ}{QP}=\frac{AB}{CP}  \\\\\frac{AQ}{6.33} =\frac{18}{6} \\\\AQ=\frac{18}{6}*6.33\\\\AQ = 19

\frac{BQ}{CQ}=\frac{AB}{CP}  \\\\\frac{BQ}{8/3} =\frac{18}{6} \\\\BQ=\frac{18}{6}*\frac{8}{3} \\\\BQ =8

Perimeter of BAQ = AB + BQ + AQ = 18 + 8 + 19 = 45cm

PA = AQ + PQ = 19 + 6.33 = 25.33

PD = CD + DP = 18 + 6 = 24

Perimeter of PDA = PA + PD + AD = 24 + 25.33 + 8 = 57.33 cm

Dwight and Walt are building model cars. Dwight builds 7 fewer models than 4 times the number Walt builds.Dwight builds at most
romanna [79]

 4x-7\leq 9  inequality could be used to find the number of models Walt builds. Correct option B).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Dwight and Walt are building model cars. Dwight builds 7 fewer models than 4 times the number Walt builds.Dwight builds at most 9 models. We need to find Which inequality could be used to find the number of models Walt builds . Let's find out:

Let the  the number Walt builds is x , So Dwight builds 7 fewer models than 4 times the number Walt builds i.e.

⇒ 4x-7

But , according to question Dwight builds at most 9 models i.e.

⇒ 4x-7\leq 9

⇒ 4x\leq 16

⇒ \frac{4x}{4}\leq \frac{16}{4}

⇒ x\leq 4

Therefore ,  4x-7\leq 9  inequality could be used to find the number of models Walt builds which is Dwight builds at most 9 and Walt builds at most 4 .
