Two cities are building bicycle paths. Charles City has built 5km of bicycle paths by the end of the first month, and the total

length of the paths doubles each month. Tinsel Town has built 21km of bicycle paths by the end of the first month, and the total length of the paths increases by 5km per month. At the end of which month does the total length of the bicycle paths in Charles City first exceed the length in Tinsel Town?

Answer:

Month 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must propose an equation that models the number of kilometers of bicycle trails made monthly in Charles City and in Tinsel Town

<em>For Charles City </em>we know that the number of kilometers built in the first month is 5, and it doubles every month. Then we have an exponential equation, in base 2, whose initial value is 5.

This equation has the following form:

y = C_1 (2^{x-1})

Where:

C_1 is the number of kilometers built in month 1

x is the number of months: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... x}

x = 1 represents month 1.

So:

Charles\ City\ (km) = 5(2^{x-1})

<em>For Tinsel Town</em> we know that the number of kilometers built in the first month is 21 and increases at a fixed rate of 5 kilometers per month. This can be modeled by a linear equation.

Tinsel\ Town\ (km) = 21 + 5(x-1)

Where x is the number of months. x: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ...}

We want to know at the end of what month the total length of the cycle lanes in Charles City first exceeds the length in Tinsel Town

Then we equal both equations and clear x.

5 (2^{x-1}) = 21 + 5(x-1)\\\\5 (2^{x-1}) - (21 + 5(x-1)) = 0

Clearing x from this equation is very difficult, so to find x, we iterate until we get the value of x that causes the equation to approach 0.

For x = 3

5(2^{3-1}) - (21 +5(3-1)) = 0\\\\20- 31= -11

For x = 4

5(2^{4-1}) - (21 +5(4-1)) = 0\\\\40 - 36 = 4

<em>The value must be between x = 3 and x = 4</em>

For x = 3.8

5 (2^{3.8-1}) - (21 +5(3.8-1)) = 0\\\\34.82 - 35 = 0.18

Then x ≈ 3.8 months.

Finally we have that By the end of the fourth month the total length of the cycle lanes in Charles City exceeds the length in Tinsel Town

In a circle whose center is O, arc AB contains 100. Find the number of degrees in angle ABO. WILL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR BEST ANSWE
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

It is so easy u should get this right.

First draw a circle and there is an arc that is like forming a triangle inside a circle and then ab angle is 100 degree and outside is the center of the circle. And since u try to find how much is outside it most likely means that 100-60=40

so it b 40.
