Answer:

<u>After a Week(7 days)</u>

Purse \:A: \$2200\\Purse B: \$0.64

<u>After 2 Weeks(14 days)</u>

<u />Purse \:A: \$3600\\Purse B: \$81.92<u />

<u>After 3 Weeks(21 days)</u>

<u />Purse \:A: \$5000\\Purse B: \$10485.76<u />

<u>After 30 days</u>

<u />Purse \:A: \$6800\\Purse B: \$5368709.12<u />

Therefore, Purse B contains more money after 30 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Purse A</u>

The amount of money($1000) in purse A for each consecutive day grows with $200. The sequence is written as:

1000,1200,1400,...

This is an arithmetic sequence with the first term being $1000 and the common difference $200.

Therefore, for any number of day, n, the amount of money in the purse,

T_n=1000+200(n-1)

<u>Purse B</u>

1 Penny=$0.01

The amount of money(1 Penny) in purse B for each consecutive day doubles. The sequence is written as:

0.01,0.02,0.04,...

This is a geometric sequence with the first term being $0.01 and the common ratio 2.

Therefore, for any number of day, n, the amount of money in  purse B,

T_n=0.01(2)^{n-1}

<u>After a Week(7 days)</u>

Purse \:A: T_7=1000+200(7-1)=\$2200\\Purse B: T_7=0.01(2)^{7-1}=\$0.64

<u>After 2 Weeks(14 days)</u>

<u />Purse \:A: T_{14}=1000+200(14-1)=\$3600\\Purse B: T_{14}=0.01(2)^{14-1}=\$81.92<u />

<u>After 3 Weeks(21 days)</u>

<u />Purse \:A: T_{21}=1000+200(21-1)=\$5000\\Purse B: T_{21}=0.01(2)^{21-1}=\$10485.76<u />

<u>After 30 days</u>

<u />Purse \:A: T_{30}=1000+200(30-1)=\$6800\\Purse B: T_{30}=0.01(2)^{30-1}=\$5368709.12<u />

Can i have help on this q plz
lukranit [14]

Answer:

No, they will need an additional £34 to stay the planned 10 nights.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached screenshot of a spreadsheet.

The cost for 10 nights for the 2 people is £100.

The tent site rental (over 10m^2) for 10 nights is £150.

Savings for the two over the 9 weeks is £216.

They will need an additional £34 to camp as planned.  

I suggest fibbing about the extra 0.5m^2 needed for the tent site.  That will reduce the bill by £30, so they are only £4 short.  Time to make a couple of friends.
