Week 1 : 1 customer tells 3 friends

Week 2: 3 new customers tell 9 friends

Week 3: 9 new customers tell 27 friends

If w represents number of weeks, then (C) represents the model appropriately. Let's see how:

Putting w = 1 , 2 and 3 in each of the options

(A) 3w: 3 for week 1, 6 for week 2, 9 for week 3 ⇒ INCORRECT

(B) w^3: 1 for week 1, 8 for week 2, 27 for week 3 ⇒ INCORRECT

(C) 3^w: 3 for week 1, 9 for week 2, 27 for week 3 ⇒ CORRECT

(D) 3w^3: 3 for week 1, 24 for week 2, 81 for week 3 ⇒ INCORRECT

Hence, the answer is (C)

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of product in first week = 3

Number of product in second week = 9

Number of product in third week = 27

Let the number of week be 'w'.

So, algebraic expression of the number of product in w weeks would be

$3^w$

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.

RS=4y+4, ST=3y+4, and RT=43 <br> What is the value of y?

Shkiper50 [21]

The value of y is 5

<h3>How to determine the value </h3>

From the given line, it can be concluded that:

The segment RT is divided into RS and ST

But we have the following parameters

The length of the sides are:

RS=4y+4
ST=3y+4
RT=43

Since RT is RS added to ST:

We have;

RT = RS + ST

substitute the values

43 = 4y + 4 + 3y + 4

collect like terms

43 = 4y + 3y + 4 + 4

Add like terms

43 = 7y + 8

43 = 7y + 8

Make '7y' subject of formula

7y = 43 - 8

7y = 35

Make 'y' the subject of formula

y = 35/ 7

y = 5

Thus, the value of y is 5

What is the fourth term in the binomial expansion (a+b)^6)

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$20a^3b^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Binomial Series</u>

$(a+b)^n=a^n+\dfrac{n!}{1!(n-1)!}a^{n-1}b+\dfrac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}a^{n-2}b^2+...+\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}a^{n-r}b^r+...+b^n$

<u>Factorial</u> is denoted by an exclamation mark "!" placed after the number. It means to multiply all whole numbers from the given number down to 1.

Example: 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

Therefore, the fourth term in the binomial expansion (a + b)⁶ is:

$\implies \dfrac{n!}{3!(n-3)!}a^{n-3}b^3$

$\implies \dfrac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}a^{6-3}b^3$

$\implies \dfrac{6!}{3!3!}a^{3}b^3$

$\implies \left(\dfrac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!3 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!2 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!1}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!3 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!2 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!1}\right)a^{3}b^3$

$\implies \left(\dfrac{120}{6}\right)a^{3}b^3$

$\implies 20a^3b^3$

Meghan reduced the size of a rectangle to a height of 2 inches. What is the new width if it was originally 24 inches wide and 12

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2/12 = 1/6

24 * 1/6 = 4

or

12/24 = 2/x

12 x = 48

x = 4

or the original width was twice the length

twice 2 is 4
