As a promotion, a clothing store draws the name of one of its customers each week. The prize is a coupon for the store. If the w

inner is not present at the drawing, he or she cannot claim the prize, and the amount of the coupon increases for the following week's drawing. The function f(x) = 20 (1.2)^x gives the amount of the coupon in dollars after x weeks of the prize going unclaimed. {{ x is the exponent on (1.2). }}
(A) What is the percent increase each week?

(B) What is the original amount of the coupon? (the initial value)

(C) What is the amount of the coupon after 2 weeks of the prize going unclaimed?

(D) After how many weeks of the prize going unclaimed will the amount of the coupon be greater than $100?

The given formula is f(x) = 20(1.2)^x

The formula is the starting amount multiplied by 1 + the percentage raised to the number of weeks.


A) the percent increase is 20% ( 1.2 in the formula is 1 +20% as a decimal)

B) the original amount is $20

C) for 2 weeks, replace x with 2 and solve:

20(1.2)^2

20(1.44) = $28.80

After 2 weeks the coupon is $28.80

D)  To solve for the number of weeks (x) set the equation equal to $100:

100 = 20(1.2)^x

Divide both sides by 20:

5 = 1.2^x

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

ln(5) = ln(1.2^x)

Use the logarithm rule to remove the exponent:

ln(5) = x ln(1.2)

Divide both sides by ln(1.2)

x = ln(5) / ln(1.2)

Divide:

X = 8.83

At 8.83 weeks the coupon would be $100, so after 9 weeks the coupon would be greater than $100

The answer is 9 weeks.

Help me in number 3!!!
Alecsey [184]
Answer: G

Explanation/Calculation:

You can clearly see that the white shapes are positive while the black shapes are negative. You can determine this because all (except F) claim that the 6 shapes are negative.

To make it easier, use elimination. It's definitely not J because you are not subtracting -6, but adding (as seen in the equation.) It is not F because 2(3)=6 when the equation needs -6.

So it is either G or H...

H claims that 12x+3+(-6) is what the model symbolizes; but this is incorrect. Unless x is a decimal, you can not have the large shape as the "purest" form (so to speak.) The "purest" state you can go in this model is a cube/square which=1.

Therefore, "G Jamey modeled 12 + 3x + (-6) and it is equivalent to 12x-3" is the correct answer.

Hope this helps you!
