$20 minus $15 = $5 difference
$5 divided by $0.20 = 25 checks
*Now the accounts are even, except I haven't done the checks for the second account.*
25 checks times $0.10 = $2.50
$2.50 divided by $0.20 = 12.5 checks (round up in this case to 13)
*Now, you need to do 13 more checks on the second account*
13 checks times $0.10 = $1.30
$1.30 divided by $0.20 = 6.5 checks (round up in this case to 7)
*Now, you need to do 7 more checks on the second account*
7 checks times $0.10 = $0.70
$0.70 divided by $0.20 = 3.5 checks (round up in this case to 4)
*Now, you need to do 7 more checks on the second account*
4 checks times $0.10 = $0.40
$0.40 divided by $0.20 = 2 checks
*Now, you need to do 2 more checks on the second account*
2 checks times $0.10 = $0.20
$0.20 divided by $0.20 = 1 check
*Now, you need to do 1 more checks on the second account*
1 checks times $0.10 = $0.10
$0.10 divided by $0.20 = 0.5 checks (round up in this case to 1)
*Now, you need to do 1 more checks on the second account*
1 checks times $0.10 = $0.10
$0.10 divided by $0.20 = 0.5 checks
25 + 13 + 7 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 53 checks

Check your work!
Account #1- $15 + (53 times $0.20) = $25.60
Account #2- $20 + (53 times $0.10) = $25.30

Answer
53 checks

What digits makes 3,71? Divisible by 3 (connections academy unit test)
wlad13 [49]

Since we know that a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all digits is divisible by 3.

Let us check which digits will make 371? divisible by 3.

3+7+1+0=11

11 is not divisible by 3.

Now let us check other digits as well.

3+7+1+1=12

12 is divisible by 3.

3+7+1+4=15

15 is also divisible by 3.

3+7+1+7=18

18 is divisible by 3 as well.

Therefore, 1, 4 and 7 in tenth place will make our number divisible by 3 and our numbers will be 3711, 3714 and 3717.

Lim x-1 x2 - 1/ sin(x-2)
balu736 [363]

Answer:

           \lim_{x \to 1}\frac{x^2-1}{sin(x-2)}=0

Explanation:

Assuming the correct expression is to find the following limit:

         \lim_{x \to 1}\frac{x^2-1}{sin(x-2)}

Use the property the limit of the quotient is the quotient of the limits:

         \lim_{x \to 1}\frac{x^2-1}{sin(x-2)}=\frac{\lim_{x \to 1}x^2-1}{\lim_{x \to 1}sin(x-2)}

Evaluate the numerator:

          \frac{\lim_{x \to 1}x^2-1}{\lim_{x \to 1}sin(x-2)}=\frac{1^2-1}{\lim_{x \to1}sin(x-2)}=\frac{0}{\lim_{x \to 1}sin(x-2}

Evaluate the denominator:

  • Since         \lim_{x \to1}sin(x-2)\neq 0

                  \frac{0}{\lim_{x \to1}sin(x-2)}=0
