Answer:

Betsy isn't correct. Betsy's calculations are wrong as she made her calculations by multiplying the base number of customers by 3 and then summing it all up for the 4 years under review instead of a continuous multiplication by 3.

26 × 3 × 4 is different from 26 × 3⁴

- If Betsy meets her target for the next 4 years, she will have 2106 customers in 4 years time.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Betsy started her business 2 years ago.

- In the first year, Betsy has 8 customers.

- In the second year, Betsy added 18 customers,

- So, her customers are now 8+18 = 26

- Betsy's goal is that in each of the next 4 years, she will have three times as many customers as the year before.

If the base number of customers is truly 26 this year,

Next year, Betsy would have 26 × 3 = 78 customers.

In 2 years, she would have 78 × 3 = 234

Thus indicating that in t years from now, the number of her customers will be

N(t) = N₀ × 3ᵗ

where

N(t) = number of customers t time from now

N₀ = number of customers at the moment = 26

t = number of years from now.

N(t) = 26 × 3ᵗ

In 4 years from now, Betsy will have

N(t=4) = 26 × 3⁴ = 2,106

So, it is evident that Betsy's calculations are wrong as she made her calculations by multiplying the base number of customers by 3 and then summing it all up for the 4 years under review instead of a continuous multiplication by 3.

26 × 3 × 4 is different from 26 × 3⁴

- If Betsy meets her target for the next 4 years, she will have 2106 customers in 4 years time.

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the perimeter of a reactangle= 2(l+b)

So,

2(l+b) = 10x+18

2(3x+4 + b) = 10x+18

Rearrange and solve

3x+4+b = 5x+9

b = 5x+9 - 3x - 4

b = 2x+5

Thus the measurement of the width = 2x+5

Hope this helps

Answer:

PL and LM

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of perpendicular is two lines that create a 90 degree angle. There are a lot of those in a rectangular prism. One of them is PL and LM, because they intersect to create a right angle.

Because we don't know the value of g, there's nothing else we can do.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x + 2y = -2 and goes through the point (6,2)
notka56 [123]
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are inverse reciprocals of each other. That would give you the new slope in your equation. After that plug (6,2) into point slope form and solve to get your final equation.
