Answer:
8 days
Step-by-step explanation:
On day 8, Isabella will save 256 nickels, bringing her total to 510.
_____
The number of nickels saved on day n is 2^n. The total is 2^(n+1)-2.
_____
The above can be written down from your knowledge of binary sequences. If you want a more formal development, read on.
__
The number of nickels saved on day n is a geometric sequence with first term 2 and common ratio 2. The n-th term of the sequence is ...
an = a1·r^(n-1) = 2·2^(n-1) = 2^n
The sum of n terms of the sequence is ...
S = a1(r^n -1)/(r -1) = 2(2^n -1)/(2-1)
S = 2^(n+1) -2
__
We want S > 500, so ...
500 < 2^(n+1) -2
502 < 2^(n+1)
251 < 2^n
log(251) < n·log(2)
n > log(251)/log(2)
n > 7.97 . . . . . . . . 8 days or more to save more than 500 nickels
Answer:
C. They are the same line.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to compare the linear equations given, they need to be in the same form. The best form in order to evaluate slope and y-intercept is slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. Since the second equation is already in slope-intercept form, we need to use inverse operations to convert the first equation:
6x - 2y = 16 ---- 6x - 2y - 6x = 16 - 6x ---- -2y = -6x + 16
-2y/-2 = -6x/-2 + 16/-2
y = 3x - 8
Since both equations are in the form y = 3x - 8, then they are both the same line.
Add all sides together to find the length of each side
