Answer:
$11,250 divided by 15 is 750, which means that the answer is the rate is $750 dollars spent in each sport.
The answer choices are sufficiently far apart that you can work this backward. The sum will be ...
236,196*(1 + 1/3 + 1/9 + 1/27 + ...)
so a reasonable estimate can be given by an infinite series with a common ratio of 1/3. That sum is
236,196*(1/(1 - 1/3)) = 236,196*(3/2)
Without doing any detailed calculation, you know the best answer choice is ...
354,292
_____
There are log(236196/4)/log(3) + 1 = 11 terms* in the series, so the sum will be found to be 4(3^11 -1)/(3-1) = 2*(3^11-1) = 354,292.
Using the above approach (working backward from the last term), the sum will be 236,196*(1-(1/3)^11)/(1-(1/3)) = 236,196*1.49999153246 = 354,292
___
* If you just compute log(236196/4)/log(3) = 10 terms, then your sum comes out 118,096--a tempting choice. However, you must realize that the last term is larger than this, so this will not be the sum. (In fact, the sum is this value added to the last term.)
Answer:
29,750
Step-by-step explanation:
Each year the population is multiplied by 100% + 4% = 1.04. We want to repeat that multiplication 15 times, once for each of the 15 years. An exponent is what we use to signify (and compute) repeated multiplication. The population will be ...
16,519 × 1.04^15 ≈ 29749.8 ≈ 29,750
Answer:
When A and B are not both zero, the graph of Ax + By = C is always a line. The graph of Ax + By = C, where A and B are not both zero, is a line. Divide both sides by B. Because the form Ax + By = C can describe any line, it is called the standard form of an equation for a line.
Hope this helps you!
