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.

2 Which of the following polynomials is not written in standard form?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is written in the order of the exponent <em>on</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>variable</em> from highest to lowest.

#1 exponents go 2, 1 , then zero. So, this is standard form.

#2 exponents go 2 then zero, so this is standard form.

#3 exponents go 1 then 2 then zero, so this is <em><u>not</u></em> in standard form.

#4 exponents go 3 to 2 to 1, so this is still in standard form.

hope this helps!

Mars is extremely far from the Earth. Scientists estimate that it could take astronauts 245​​​​​​​ days to travel from Earth to
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would liken the given scenario to distance speed and time relationship. The formula for determining average speed is

Total Distance/ total time

Since the distance between Earth and Mars is 108 million miles(108 × 10^6) the trip takes 245 days, then on average, the number of miles that the astronauts would travel each day would be

108 × 10^6/245 = 440816 miles per day

Writing in powers of 10, it becomes 4.4 × 10^5 miles per day

Rounding to the nearest whole number, it becomes 4 × 10^5 miles per day
