WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF RIGHT NEED ASAP!!!! Aril and Dita are wealthy Norwegian business owners who each began making monthly do

nations to international disaster relief at the same time. Aril donated 150 kr the first month, and the cumulative number of Norwegian kroners she has donated increases by a factor of 2.5 each month. Dita donated 300 kr the first month, and the cumulative number of Norwegian kroners she has donated increases by 400 kro each month. What is the first which month will Aril's cumulative donation first exceed Dita's cumulative donation?

Answer:

<em>The third month</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Function Modeling</u>

We use mathematical models to approximate to the reality through numbers and symbols. It allows scientist to be able to compare, predict and take decisions based on the models.

We have two situations described as Aril and Dita donating Norwegian kroners in a monthly base.

Aril donated 150 kr the first month, and the cumulative number of kr donated increases by a factor of 2.5 each month. Being n the number of months, the function to model the donation is

A=150\cdot 2.5^n

Note that if n=0, A is the initial donation of 150 kr

Dita donated 300 kr the first month, and the cumulative kr donated increases by 400 kro each month. It's represented as a linear function

D=300+400\cdot n

We must find a value of n such that

A\geq D

Or equivalently

150\cdot 2.5^n \geq 300+400\cdot n

This is an inequality that cannot be solved for n. We'll give some values until the condition is met

n=1 \ \rightarrow \ 150\cdot 2.5^1 \geq 300+400\cdot 1 \ \rightarrow 150\geq 700

The inequality is not true

n=2 \ \rightarrow \ 150\cdot 2.5^2 \geq 300+400\cdot 2 \ \rightarrow 937.5\geq 1100

It's not true either

n=3 \ \rightarrow \ 150\cdot 2.5^3 \geq 300+400\cdot 3 \ \rightarrow 2343.75\geq 1500

Now it's true, so the month where Aril's cumulative donation first exceed Dita's cumulative donation is the third

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=1/6x+4?
nlexa [21]
Since the slope is rise/run, 1/6 goes up one, right 6. Perpendicular is opposite that. so a slope of -6 goes down 6 and right 1. (as a fraction it's -6/1)

Constructing Parallel Lines
Orlov [11]

A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The slope of the lines is -1, and the equation of the parallel line is y-x-6.

<h3>What is the equation of a line?</h3>

A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The equation of a line is given by,

y =mx + c

where,

x is the coordinate of the x-axis,

y is the coordinate of the y-axis,

m is the slope of the line, and

c is the y-intercept.

The parallel line passes through the points (-4,-2) and (-3,-3). Therefore, the slope of the line is,

Slope = (-2 + 3) / (-4 + 3) = 1/-1 = -1

The equation of the parallel line that is passing through point P is,

y = mx + c

y = -x + c

-3 = -(-3) + c

-3 -3 = c

c = -6

Hence, the slope of the lines is -1, and the equation of the parallel line is y-x-6.
