Sid starts with savings of £13

Mathematics
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The savings of Sid and Tim will be in 17:9 in 6 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial savings of Sid = £ 13

Initial savings of Tim = £ 0

For each successive week Sid saved = £ 3.5

For each successive week Tim saved = £ 3

Let us assume that after "x weeks" the amounts of Sid and Tim are in ratio 17:9.

If Sid saves £ 3.5 in one week, in x weeks he will £ 3.5x. Since he had £ 13 initially, total amount he would have in x weeks will be £ (13 + 3.5x)

If Time saves £ 3 one week, in x weeks he will save £ 3x. Since, he didn't have any money initially, in x weeks he would have saved £ 3x

The ratio of their savings in x weeks would be 17:9

So,

Sid's saving : Tim's saving = 17 : 9

Using the values of expressions, we get:

13+3.5x:3x=17:9\\\\\frac{13+3.5x}{3x}=\frac{17}{9}\\\\ 9(13+3.5x)=17(3x)\\\\ 117+31.5x=51x\\\\ 117=51x-31.5x\\\\ 117=19.5x\\\\ x=\frac{117}{19.5}\\\\ x=6

This means, the savings of Sid and Tim will be in 17:9 in 6 weeks.

The expression below represents the number of bacteria in a petri dish after t hours. Interpret the meaning of the expression.
konstantin123 [22]

The answer is B) The initial number of bacteria is 57, and the growth rate is 31% per hour.


The expression shown is an <em>exponential expression</em>.  An exponential expression usually takes the form ab^{x}, as this one does.  A represents the <em>initial value</em>, in this case-the initial number of bacteria.  B represents the <em>growth rate</em>.  When it is an increasing growth rate, it will begin with 1, because it will have everything it had before, plus the percent increase, the decimal portion.  In this case, a=57, and b=0.31.


Hope this makes sense!

What is the slope of y = -1 + 3x?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

− 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite the equation as: y = − 3 x + 0 This equation is now in the slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y = m x + b Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value. For: y = − 3 x + 0 the slope is: m = − 3

A student claims that 8^3 x 8^-5 is greater than 1. Explain whether the student is correct or not.
nlexa [21]
Remember:
a^m * a^n=a^(m+n)
a^-m=1/a^m


8³ x 8⁻⁵=8³⁻⁵=8⁻²=1/8²=1/64<1

Answer: the student is not correct, because 1/64<1, and 8³ x 8⁻⁵=1/64.
