Answer:

Friday.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bananas is reducing from 23 at a rate of 50% of the previous day's number.

Given that on Monday, Mary had 23 bananas and we are asked that on which day there will be only 1 banana will left.

Let after d days the remaining bananas will become one.

Therefore, 23[1-\frac{50}{100} ]^{d} = 1

⇒ (0.5)^{d} =\frac{1}{23}

Taking log both sides we get  

d \log 0.5 = \log (\frac{1}{23} )

⇒ d = 4.523 days.

Therefore, on Friday the remaining number of bananas will become 1. (Answer)

If f(1) = 10 and f(n) = f(n = 1) – 4 then find the value of f(5).
svetoff [14.1K]

Given:

f(1)=10 and f(n)=f(n-1)-4.

To find:

The value of f(5).

Solution:

We have,

f(n)=f(n-1)-4

For n=2,

f(2)=f(2-1)-4

f(2)=f(1)-4

f(2)=10-4

f(2)=6

For n=3,

f(3)=f(3-1)-4

f(3)=f(2)-4

f(3)=6-4

f(3)=2

For n=4,

f(4)=f(4-1)-4

f(4)=f(3)-4

f(4)=2-4

f(4)=-2

For n=5,

f(5)=f(5-1)-4

f(5)=f(4)-4

f(5)=-2-4

f(5)=-6

Therefore, the value of f(5) is -6.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer: Santa's speed in still air is 6 miles per minute

Speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of Santa in still air. It is assumed that in still air. She is flying with the wind. If the speed of the wind is y, then him total speed is x + y

It takes Santa 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind.

Speed = distance / time

It means that

x + y = 35/5 = 7

It takes him 7 minutes to fly 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed will be x - y

Speed = distance/time. Therefore,

x - y = 35 /5 = 5 - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7 - y - y = 5

-2y = 5 - 7 = -2

y = -2/-2 = 1

x = 7 - y = 7 - 1

x = 6
