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:

The answer to part A is 15 cm because you would first divide 16 by two to find the base of one triangle. Then you would do the pythagorean theorem to find the height. <em> I don't know if that would help.</em>

The answer to part B is 240 cm squared because you would find the area of one right triangle and multiply it by 4 to find the area of all the sides of the box.

In a G.P., the third term exceeds the first term by 16.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a G.P, the nth term is given as

Un=ar^(n-1)

Where

a is first term

n is nth term

And r is common ratio

So in the question given above,

The third term exceed the first term by 16

i.e U3=U1+16

Where U1=a. First term

U3=a+16

Given also that, the sum if the third term and fourth term is 72.

Then U3+U4=72.

We are told to find common ratio (r)

U3=ar^3-1

U3=ar^2

Also, U4=ar^3

U3+U4=72

ar^2+ar^3=72

ar^2(1+r)=72. equation 1

Also for

U3=a+16

ar^2=a+16

ar^2-a=16

a(r^2-1)=16. From (x^2-y^2)=(x+y)(x-y)

Then,

a(r-1)(r+1)=16. Equation 2

Divide equation 2 by equation 1

a(r-1)(r+1)/ar^2(1+r) =16/72

Then a cancel a and (1+r) cancel (1+r)

So,

(r-1)/r^2=2/9

Cross multiply

9(r-1)=2r^2

2r^2-9r+9=0

Solving the quadratic equation

2r^2-6r-3r+9=0

2r(r-3)-3(r-3)=0

(r-3)(2r-3)=0

r-3=0. Or. 2r-3= 0

Then r=3 or r=3/2

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!
Airida [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There so the first step of this problem is to find the formula for circumference

C=2\pi r

given some of the values we can form an equation to solve for the radius (r)

31.4=3.14(2)r\\3.14(2)=6.28\\31.4=6.28r\\\frac{31.4}{6.28} =5

so we can conclude that the radius is equal to 5
