Answer:
Michael and Carlos will have the same amount after 7 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the total number of baseball cards that Carlos and Michael need to have to be equal is y, and the amount of time in terms of weeks that it will take for this to be achieved is x.
The following expressions can be derived
For Carlos to achieve y, he will need 85 and an addition of 10 per week (x):
y=85+(10x)..........equation 1
For Michael to achieve y, he will need 120 and an addition of 5 per week (x):
y=120+(5x)..........equation 2
Equating equation 1 and 2 to solve for x
85+10x=120+5x
10x-5x=120-85
5x/5=35/5
x=7
Number of weeks it will take Michael and Carlos to have the same amount=x=7 weeks
The square root of 26 is 5.0999... which rounds to 5.1

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = ax + b
x = 2 → f(x) = 1 and x = - 1 → f(x) = - 5 ( from the table )
Substitute these values into f(x) = ax + b, that is
2a + b = 1 → (1)
- a + b = - 5 → (2)
Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate b
3a = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = 2
Substitute a = 2 into (2) and evaluate for b
- 2 + b = - 5 ( add 2 to both sides )
b = - 3
(b)
When x maps onto itself then
ax + b = x, that is
2x - 3 = x ( subtract x from both sides )
x - 3 = 0 ( add 3 to both sides )
x = 3
Thus a = 2, b = - 3 and x = 3
This is a geometric sequence.
a = 15625,
Common ratio = 6250/15625 = 2500/6250 = 0.4
an for GP = ar^(n - 1)
= 15625*(0.4)^(n - 1)
