Answer:

The correct option is option (B).

He would be saving $10,485.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

1 cent =$ 0.01.

Geometric sequence:

  • The first term of the sequence be a and common ratio n, then n^{th} term of the sequence is T_n=a(r)^{n-1} .
  • The sum of the sequence is

              S_n=\frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}    where r>1

                   =\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}    where r<1

                   =na             where r=1

Here first term(a)= $0.01, r= 2 , n=20

S_n=\frac{0.01(2^{20}-1)}{2-1}

    =10,485.75

He would be saving $10,485.75.

You roll a pair of six-sided number cubes, numbered 1 through 6. What is the probability of rolling two odd numbers? (Enter your
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

1/4 or 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability for rolling an odd number is 50% or  \frac{1}{2} because there are 3 odd numbers, (1, 3, 5) and 6 total outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). \frac{3}{6} =\frac{1}{2}

The probability for rolling two odd numbers in a row is

\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{4}

So, the probability of rolling an odd number twice is 25% or  \frac{1}{4}.

The perimeter of a triangle ABC is 54. The triangle has side lengths AB=3x,BC=4x,and AC=5x. Find the length of each side.
Ilya [14]
3x+4x+5x=54
12x=54
x=4.5

Plug in the value of x into all three segments.

AB= 3*4.5= 13.5
BC= 4*4.5= 18
AC= 5*4.5= 22.5

“a railroad bridge spans a gorge 40 feet wide and connects two cliffs at heights of 98 and 158 feet above the bottom of the gorg
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Height above the bottom gorge is 113 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the gorge = 40 feet

The height of the higher cliff = 158 feet

The height of the lower cliff = 98 feet

The length of the bridge = √((158-98)² + 40²) = 72.11 feet

The slope of the bridge = (158-98)/40 = 1.5

The length of 1/4 of the bridge from the lower cliff =72.11 - 3/4×72.11 = 18.03 feet

The angle of inclination of the bridge = tan⁻¹(1.5) = 56.31°

The height above the bottom at 3/4 from the higher cliff = The height above the bottom at 1/4 from the lower cliff = 98+ 18.03×sin(56.31 ) = 113 feet

Which can also be found directly from the heights of the two cliffs knowing that 3/4 from the higher cliff = 1/4 from the lower cliff giving;

Height above the bottom gorge = 98 + 1/4×(158 - 98) = 113 feet.
