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

an equilateral triangle and a regular pentagon have the same perimeter. Each side of the pentagon is 3 inches shorter than each
klemol [59]
The answer is 4.5 for the side length of the pentagon and 7.5 is the side length for the triangle because 7.5*3(3 sides) = 22.5 and 4.5*5(5 sides)= 22.5. The perimeter is 22.5

A line with slope 3 passes through the point (0,10). What is the y-coordinate of the point on the line with x-coordinate 2?
lana [24]
Hello!

So to find the y-coordinate we need an equation for the line. The equation we can use is

y = mx + b

In this we already know m(the slope which is 3) and we can find b by plugging in the points that are given.

10 = 3(0) + b
10 = 0 + b
10 = b

So now that we've found b, we can use this in our equation

y = 4x + b

So now we can plug in the x-coordinate that we know (2) and find the y - coordinate.

y = 4(2) + 10
y = 8 + 10
y = 18

18 is your y-coordinate

The chart below lists the original and sale prices of items at a clothing store.
Tom [10]

Answer: C) For every original price, there is exactly one sale price.

For any function, we always have any input go to exactly one output. The original price is the input while the output is the sale price. If we had an original price of say $100, and two sale prices of $90 and $80, then the question would be "which is the true sale price?" and it would be ambiguous. This is one example of how useful it is to have one output for any input. The input in question must be in the domain.

As the table shows, we do not have any repeated original prices leading to different sale prices.

The table shows y as a function of x. Suppose a point is added to this table. Which choice gives a point that preserves the func
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

<em>A) (-5,7)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Functions and Relations</u>

A set of values A can have a relation with another set B as long as at least one element of A has at least one image in B. Functions are special relations where each element of A (the domain of the function) has one and only one image on B (the range of the function).

By looking at the options, we can see that x=9, x=-8, and x=-1 already have defined values in Y, so if we define another value for any of them the relation will stop being a function. The only possible choice to preserve the function is the option

\boxed{A)\ (-5,7)}
