Answer:

> 499 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown here is the number of days it will take to save over 1000 pennies.  Instead of an equation this is an inequality.  The phrase "more than 1000 pennies" is > 1000.  Now we need to figure out WHAT is more than 1000.  If Jack starts with 2 pennies today, that is our "fixed" number.  To that starting number of pennies we are doubling the number of pennies per day.  Doubling means we are multiplying by 2.  The mathematical expression for "doubling the number of pennies per day" is 2x.  Adding in our starting amount of 2 pennies, we have

2x + 2 > 1000 and

2x > 998 so

x > 499

This means that it will take more than 499 days to get more than 1000 pennies.  It will take 500 days to get exactly 1000, but that is not what we are asked to find.

to get a total of $624.90 divide that number by 3 to get the average which is $208.30 as the average sale per day

What is/are the classification of functions that has its inverse?
UNO [17]

Answer:

Invertible functions

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse of a function is one that reverses the operation of the function such that the result of the function on a variable, is reversed back to the initial variable

Therefore, when we have the the result of the function, f on x as y given as follows;

f(x) = y

The inverse of the function, g on the result, y gives the initial variable, x as follows;

g(y) = x

Example of invertible functions includes;

f(x) = x²

An example of a non-invertible function includes;

f(x) = 2·x².
